Yahoo's struggles make it negative... especially if Ovi is actually to be scrapped for their services...

Yahoo is teaming up with them because Google is trying to seriously kill them in the TV widgets sector(Google TV). So with the Nokia partnership, Yahoo will get to keep their widgets on TVs with Meego.

What's weird though is that Intel is a Google TV partner...

Seriously, Nokia must refresh its business model, guidelines and staff.
They seem like a car without brakes downhill.
Only with a few years of relax and SILENTLY strategy they could be the number one again. But weird friendships makes you look weird forever.
Yahoo? Very nice 90's one, until Google come to us.

This is still one incredibly uninspired move by Nokia.

Yahoo = failing
Nokia = failing [in smart phone sphere]
Google = winning
Apple = winning

Nokia + Yahoo = Fail central
A graphical representation of your equation :)

that makes at least a bit more sense than earlier predictions of what was happening.

Strange that they didn't include flickr (iirc part of Yahoo). Ovi Share seems to be almost completly abandoned by Nokia.

Commenter Oflife on the Engadget report sums this up for me:

Quote:
We have here two companies who have an appalling comprehension of human factors design. Compare any Yahoo service to Google or Apple. Also compare operating a Nokia 5800 or other phone to an LG or Apple. If these companies produce anything together, it isn't going to be pretty or usable. Or will they cancel each other out and produce a sensual prodigy?
