It's not just Microsoft who seem to be out of the game so to speak. What's going on with Nokia? It's taking them forever to come up with a device and/or platform that seems like a credible competitor to Android and iPhone OS.
- joezydeco 16y agoNokia switched tracks, abandoning Symbian for the smartphones and putting their chips on Meego embedded Linux and Qt for the UI. There's a huge effort to make Qt into a higher level framework that can be used like Cocoa Touch or the Android UI elements. The Qt Declarative/Quick stuff is being advanced as quickly as they can work, but after working with the latest stuff they have a ways to go. I have a hunch Nokia thinks they'll be able to quickly catch up.
- armandososa 16y agoAnd that makes me somewhat sad. I've been a user of Nokia for 10 years and I allways loved those devices. When I purchased my last phone, 1.5 years ago, I gave them a vote of confidence and got an E71 instead of an iPhone. I regret it every day. Stupid E71.
- fierarul 16y agoYeah, I've also got an E71 instead and don't like it. I also dislike how Nokia basically left the phone (or the OS) unsupported and they are now targeting the big-screen iPhone-clones. Nice move there. I suppose it's no need to tell you how broken their Ovi "market" app is...
- sasidharm 16y agoActually i blame nokia for the sad state of mobile user interfaces until the iPhone came along
