The intresting thing here is how will it effect the patent battle's between Nokia and Apple now?
nokias current stupidity means that someone will buy them for their IP in a few years, who has the cash?
apple does.
@duce, good post mate.
the new guy elop has really thrown the baby out with the bath water. maemo was ace, if meemo was even half as good, it would have been ok. symbian was looking crusty and bloated, mainly on the UI. fixable, it certainly ran ok on lower end handsets- which helped nokia dominate the developing world (of which china and india are going to be very important, very soon).
they became intimidated, desperate to jump on someone elses band wagon, and let suits rule the day- weve seen this train wreck before, in fact most of us lived though it in 94
