Re: Microsoft, your platform is on fire

Elop has been quiet since Friday. Is it a good sign?

Or has he made any new statements?

bada is just an interface. It now runs IIRC on freebsd and it can be run on meego too. So the snappiness isn't due to the lack of linux

Nope. He was busy selling Nokia messaging business:

Nokia sells messaging business

Synchronica wins US contracts

Nokia has quietly sold off its operator-braded messaging business.

The buyer is Synchronica, itself an established upstart in providing communications and messaging services. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but it will see Synchronica getting access to all of Nokia's email, instant messaging, social networking and client software.

It's an interesting acquisition. With it, Synchronica gets the contract to look after major US carriers, including AT&T, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless. Synchronica will get all of the sourcecode for Nokia's messaging client and server software. It'll also get the Nokia code for Series 40 and Symbian devices. Nokia will continue to load the software onto Series 40 phones but Synchronica will slowly take over the development.

250 employees will go from Nokia to Synchronica.

Nokia dismantling continues.

Re: Microsoft, your platform is on fire

It seems all development activities are gradually moved out of Nokia. What will remain? Design studio?

Bean counters. Until they run out of beans to count, that is.
