okay you missed the fact that they said they are going to focus their business on software.
They hired the Stephen Elop from M$ and next thing you know they do a deal with M$ and and now their focus is going to be software.
Is that because the Stephen Elop does not know how to deal with Hardware.
I said it before, hardware engineer can design hardware and write code if necessary but software engineer can only write code and usually have no clue about hardware. Hardware is is foreign concept to most software types.
Hmmm, sort of like Apotheker over at HP?
"We are seeing solid progress against our strategy,..." Yes, Elop, I think you got that right.
There was a troll yesterday claiming hypocrisy, of all things, because the "Apple fonboys" weren't calling the Kindle Fire a clone of the iPad.
Yeah, but the people supporting Samsung haven't quite figured out that it's actually (easily) possible to have a rectangular device with a screen that doesn't look like an iPhone - as every manufacturer demonstrated before there was an iPhone to copy.
So basically, Apple just took away 3,500 jobs! I wonder how many jobs they created while causing 3,500 people to lose their job...
Actually if you want to be pedantic about it, it's the people who bought iPhones and/or android phones, who would otherwise have bought nokias that took away 3500 jobs.
The N9 certainly does look sweet. If that phone had an Apple logo I thing we'd all be very excited. The interface looks cool, too. The first video (where the designer introduces the phone) looks like it was produced by Apple. The guy is a Finish and slightly less awkward version of Ive. The language is all Apple.
Why MS? indeed.
Apart from the fact that WPx is a better platform than anything Nokia had it's because of the ecosystem.
In the connected post-PC centric world how a device interacts within a web of other cloud-connected devices will dictate its usefulness far more than how it behaves standalone.
Microsoft has the ecosystem and they have developer support. Nokia didn't.
Elop knew that Nokia was circling the drain. Inaction would have caused Nokia's slow but inevitable decline into insignificance. With his bold move to support WPx Elop has given Nokia a fighting chance.
Sure, it might completely bury them as well, but at least now they have a chance.
Meego and WebOS are dead for the same reason. Tizen will suffer the same fate.
