Things are apparently starting to accelerate quite a bit this week in regards to Nokia’s upcoming major announcement on Friday. As a follow up to last nights internal Nokia memo from CEO Stephen Elop, Google’s Vic Gundotra just tweeted that “Two turkeys do not make an Eagle” a reference to a Nokia quote from 2005 in relation to Siemens and BenQ’s merger. I guess that this definitely rules out the possibility that Nokia was going to adopts Android as one of the software platforms and now leaves Windows Phone 7 as the only solution (that’s IF Nokia is indeed going to ditch Symbian…). The tweet has since be deleted by Vic. Exciting times ahead…
