- Godel_unicode 10y ago> un-upgradable. I believe you mean "differentiated" :)
- madez 10y agoProduct differentiation is an underestimated evil of our time.
- mtgx 10y agoSome would argue it was what killed Nokia, too. It chose to go with Windows Phone to "be different", even though Android and iOS were already established and WP didn't have much of a market share.
- digi_owl 10y agoIt was pretty much what strangled the community efforts surrounding Maemo as well. Core pieces of early Maemo, like power management, was closed source, for "differentiation".
- sowbug 10y agoVTS is meant to address that concern.
