maemo.org - Talk - Microsoft buying Nokia's devices & services

Well, it's gotten too quiet here lately. Mind you, I realize this is a MAEMO forum and thus it's natural for it to be as quiet as the grave now, but still... let's at least TRY.. :) Besides, Specc was just so sure of his predictions while everyone was just so sure he was full of crap. Just wanted to see if he had any opinions, assuming he had the man-parts to stick around. :) Some citing of statistics and facts might even be in order this time around, I'd hope!

Wasn't Specc just a new post-ban username for the artist previously known as Ericcson?

I liked specc. A bit to intense at times but spot on when it came to fanboyism and distorted world view that few hold here.

Anyways, MS is the only growing OS these days and I think they have a good product but that is not enough in this ultra competitive days. Jolla really has no chance whatsoever. It has no brand presence anywhere, is not even a blip on google trends and overall a leaderless bunch of not sure whos.

Wow really? So... he picked a dying company's name, stood up for that dying company until it no longer existed, changed his name, this time sided with Elop and Lumia to make wildly incorrect predictions of their success and then slowly, quietly began to disappear again along with Nokia's Lumia brand and their popularity? Sucks to be so dedicated to a particular brand that can't deliver.

He was/is swedish.

Ericsson is just about the most swedish name around. Very possible that the original username had nothing to do with the Ericsson corporation. But yeah, he was pretty much the most hardcore Nokia fan ever. No matter what Nokia, the love and defense was never ending.

Android market share Q2 2012: 64%
Android market share Q2 2013: 79%
Isn't that growth?

I read just this morning that Android tablets had seen 240% growth YoY in Western Europe. iPads were down 9%.

As Jolla's primary focus is China perhaps you should be checking Baidu, Qihoo So or Sogou. Google is but a mere tiddler in China with about 4% market share.
