Which brings us to Nokia! sadly, this is one company where the management is hell bent on taking the worst possible decision every single time. It is like they want to deliberately lose every single battle!
I can understand the appeal of this partership for MSFT, but what does NOK get in return? There is not even any exclusivity as far as I can see, for takling all this risk! So if they take all this risk on WP7 (instead of Android) and if they (by some stroke of luck) make WP7 successful, then HTC, MOT, samsung etc. will just move in and eat their lunch 🙂 What a loser management! (Thank god, I don’t own any NOK!!! )
No wonder their employees are pissed and stock is down 15% today!
Well, I have to say, nokia and msft are quickly on the road to becoming irrelevant in the mobile space…
I would think nokia should just switch to android and bite the bullet. As I predicted months ago, WM7 is the ultimate P.O.S…..And I’d like to see Nokia’s tablet story, if they aren’t going to get on the Android bandwagon….Honeycomb anyone?
Well, it could be worse…They could be like HP trying to push the WebOS based tablets and phones…LOL good luck with that one….
Then again, I’m not complaining….Loving the profit I took on Nvidia and Arm so far…. 🙂
Anyway, anyone want to take a swipe on how much longer RIMM has? I’d say 2-3 years, or until Android starts getting serious about business class users…
