Nokia says Google alliance participation "not ruled out at all"

It may have downplayed the significance of Google's Open Handset Alliance and Android OS yesterday, but it seems that Nokia is singing a slightly different tune today, with Reuters now reporting that the company hasn't completely closed the door on taking part in the alliance. Specifically, Nokia spokesman Kari Tuutti said, "It's not ruled out at all," adding that, "If we would see this as beneficial we would think about taking part in it." Tuutti then went on to say that "We should never close any doors." Of course, that's still a long way from actually jumping on board, which seems to remain a fairly unlikely proposition, "open doors" aside.
