- axod 16y agoNokia sell something like 1.5 million phones a day afaik.
- csomar 16y agoThe only difference is that Nokia isn't as wide spread in the US as it is in Europe and Middle East. Plus Nokia targets simple users ($100 phones) while Apple and Google (SmartPhone) targets users ready to put $500+ on a phone or a tablet. So Nokia will have a much larger audience.
- webwright 16y agoRight. There are two discussions to have here. Company Success: Apple is clearly successful with those sales #s. OS Success: It remains to be seen if the ugly/fragmented OS being sold by 20 different companies will kick the ass of the prettier/walled-garden OS sold by one company like it did with Computer OS's. If it does, it'd be sad to see it happen to Apple a second time. I'd personally prefer to see Apple license the heck out of their OS's with stringent hardware requirements.
- olefoo 16y agoI'd be happy if they just made it legal to license it for use in an emulator. That would cover 99% of the use cases I have for running either of their os's (iPhone OS, OS X) on non-apple hardware.
