Oh guys cmon , Nokia can innovate but they were never good at software . From what I recall their software projects always were failures. Elop did what he had to do, get support from software makers aka Microsoft. Regardless how awesome MeeGo was/is remember that handset UI was primary in Nokia's hands hence FAIL
Lets go back
Download! = first app store = FAIL
N-gage devices = first gaming platform FAIL
Mosh = second app store FAIL
N-gage software = gaming platform for all N- series = FAIL
Ovi services = FAIL
As N8 ad said its not the technology its what you do with it
In this case its not the innovation its what you do with it hence iPhone and Android
Nokia just fails at advertising. How many people knew Ngage 2.0 was available? MOSH?
Bigger hint: Nokia's shares have tanked 75% from 40.00+ USD in 2007 to less than 10.00 USD in 2010 from prior Nokia strategies.
Gerbick, I know that. So what, it shows that the previous regime (OPK & board) failed. So the savior was brought in, share prices moved up slightly. Then the new strategy was announced, and the stock tanked again. Looks like the market thinks that the current regime (Elop & board) failed.
So we do have the continuation of failure, apparently not a change to the better.
Dude, if sales meant anything about quality, Justin Bieber and Britney Spears wouldn't sell shitloads of records.
Truth is, what most of us are angry about is that all that Maemo was is about to cease exist, in one form or another. This device is about to go down in history as a revolutionary device that didn't happen due to bad management decisions, and never again will we see anything close to it from nokia, if Ms is truly at the helm of Nokia.
And guess what, in spite of what really sells, I could really use another Maemo device, with updated specs. I'm afraid this will be no more.
hence iPhone and Android
