Nokia and Microsoft

Nokia and Microsoft trying to make a, "The two shall become one" It is a tall order achieve. Without a, "one should submit to the other, and the other should love her" this mostly unachievable.

Why didn't Nokia choose Android? The WSJ put it this way.

Admittedly, Nokia didn't have much choice. While many hoped Nokia would adopt Android, that would have been problematic. For one thing, many rival manufacturers run Android, making it hard for Nokia to distinguish itself. While some Asian handset makers support both Windows and Android, going down that route would also have made it hard for Nokia to stand out.


An oblique way to suggest that Nokia is in big big trouble. They do not have the confidence of a virus onto a bacteria strategy. Incredibly meek for a huge company spending 15% of revenue on R&D. Reads like they have made a mistake with their CEO hire, an ex Microsoftie.
