interesting article about the technology branch in general...
Viewpoint: Over-the-top technologies drive success
until ½ a dozen years ago, the mobile phone was nice to have but it wasn't the killer feature, yet.
what actually made the mobile phone a commodity (to the detriment of NOKIA's traditional business) is... the mobile phones' ease of use and omnipresence (the current "over the top" thing...).
oddly 'nough, NOKIA was at the fore-front of that new wave with Maemo, but completely missed the chance to realize it
maybe 'cuz they were too confident that Symbian was (still) the standard of all things?
even though others have meanwhile occupied the market, it doesn't seem to be carved in stone yet
maybe a chance still for Maemo

(note: the reflections in the posts are mine; the article is about the technology branch in general)
