Now is still too early to argue about the impact of Nokia WP7 in the future. Let Nokia comes out a WP7 phone first.
IMO, Vic Gundotra might be wrong about "two turkeys do not make an eagle". If Nokia WP7 is successful, Nokia will be the turkey, and MS is the eagle dining the turkey. |

QUOTE(gogo2 @ Feb 12 2011, 01:47 AM) It depends. Nothing last forever. Last time we also dun think Nokia will fall like this. Nokia CEO has his reasons to enter into such arrangement with MS. But if he is smarter, he should instead use all WP7, Android & Symbian concurrently and let the software developers fight for Nokia attention. Then Nokia will be the winner. Now you dun think Android will die. But believe me. Next year, Nokia WP7 will conquer the world. That time you'll eat back your own word. I believe Nokia and MS become eagle while Android is turkey.  By entering into exclusivity deal with MS will limit Nokia options to expand. Most likely, it is Nokia who helps MS to expand in the early years rather than the other way round. MS intention is to make money through software updates like in the PC market. I still remember last time when I want to upgrade my pda WinMo6.1 to WinMo6.5, they wanted to charge me RM126 for WinMo6.5 OS licence!! And if the scenario (GREEN texts) you put up is true in the future, the real turkey will be you and other WP7 users, and MS will be the one dining turkey out of your wallet.  |
