This is FUD. He doesn't seem to think there's any danger to other manufacturers shipping Windows phones. Wouldn't they be in a similar situation due to the MS/N

This is FUD. He doesn't seem to think there's any danger to other manufacturers shipping Windows phones. Wouldn't they be in a similar situation due to the MS/Nokia partnership? I am doubtful that this will have any significant impact on manufacturers shipping Android phones. Google has always had their own model. Now they can bring it in house. This deal was likely more to do with patents anyway. There are plenty of pieces of pie to go around and the whole thing is still growing at the same time.
