This deal sounds very similar to MS-Yahoo deal. Abandon your existing technology, rely on competitors tech and expect growth.
We have seen how MS-Yahoo deal played out this week. It won't be long before Nokia realized what they got into. By then, it'll be too late.
- 1337p337 15y agoIt looks that way, which is pretty sad. I'm typing this on my beloved N900, which I found far more usable and open than Android (which I kicked when it wouldn't stop screaming "CLOUD! CLOUD!" at me, and Eric Schmidt kept coming into my house at night to smell my hair). Seriously, though, there are only two real competitors, Apple and Google, in the smartphone market, which is unfortunate for everyone. Windows phones have been floundering, WebOS seems to have lost traction, and Blackberries are...Blackberry who? I hope we're not entering the Dark Ages of Mobile Phones.
- evanhanson 15y agoI've been waiting a long time for the successor to the N900. It's sad it'll never happen, and that there's nothing similar on the horizon (especially with Maemo/Moblin/MeeGo floundering).
- yuhong 15y agoDon't forget MS-Corel too from 1999-2000. I have a submission about it.
