Interesting read, reminds me of the statement back in 2010 when the then Nokia VP compared joining Android to peeing in pants for warmth, he did have a fair point though. Nokia's (NOK) soon to be ex-EVP Anssi Vanjoki told the Financial Times that it wouldn't be prudent, long term, to go to Google's (GOOG) Android platform. While the initial warmth (ahem) of having a complete, modern OS would be nice initially, in the long term, they'd be relegated to the (errr) cold reality of being exclusively a hardware maker like Motorola (MOT), Samsung and HTC.To put it another way, losing control of their software destiny and relying on Android as the universal OS may lead to "permanently low profitability" with users failing to distinguish between different brands if they all offer the same experience. http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/09/21/outgoing-nokia-ceo-compares-android-t... vincent wayodi
