Actually that's already been underway for the past few years at least.

Buy Nokia, create a second division for MobileComputerPhones with MeeGo and kick the WP7 niche to where they come from.
No one is going to buy Nokia. They are too big and they are too old. There is no potential for growth in Nokia, only billion truckloads of baggage.

What we are seeing is the end of Android as we know it. Android is out of control and Google want to control it like Apple does. ZTE and Huawei and other chinese manufacturers will go their own ways, do their own market places and leave Google with nothing. Samsung want to get out of Android over to WP and Bada. Who knows what HTC wants, and who cares anyway.

And plenty of assets that, together, are worth more than the current NOK share price suggests.

Some savvy outfit very well could purchase Nokia, and for billions of good reasons.

And what they could put in phones instead of Android - WP7? Symbion? or may be MeeGo?

Intel makes money out of hardware build for deskops not cell phones. The desktop is dominated by MS and I don't think they would want to jeopardize that + spend a *****load of money just to have a chance in a very hostile market.

That will protect them from traditional radio manufacturers. Oracle-Google remains unaffected.

Moto has a license for Java Mobile (or whatever from Oracle). It would be transferred to Google I believe.

This wont effect nokia one bit. Google buy motorola due to what apple is trying to do to the android ecosystem. This is just googles way to say back down and it will work. Android came in and out does iOS in many aspects and apple doesnt like it. Good post on www.xoomforum.com as to why the downfall of apple will happen again if you wanna read it.

I suggested back in post #22 maybe Intel could buy Nokia to make MeeGo devices. Probably would be a good move despite the price to put the Intel/Nokia/MeeGo plan back in action. Both companies are in some danger of becoming afterthoughts in the mobile marketplace.

Microsoft cannot - will not - ever allow that to happen. Nor will Elop and his cronies. Nokia has been infiltrated. They will be assimilated. Resistance is futile!
