Most likely none of them.
But if you were to rate their current condition then:

MS < Apple < Google.

Then what are the options? Doubtful it'll be Jolla. So name the next option.

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock. Really.

Why does there have to be a next option?

In most cases IT reaches a point at which it is good enough.

cost/reward balance shifts.

The trick is to identify the next disruptive technology.

Smartphones (iPhone) was clearly disruptive to the traditional desktop use cases for say joe public and to a lesser degree tablets.

Not so much for niche power uses, say cad, development etc.

All the others are minor improvements or changes of focus to the original "smartphone" ideas.

Is Jolla disruptive? too early to say, probbaly not in its current configuration, you know my thoughts already on what could be.

If not Google Android, Microsoft Windows Phone (or Windows RT) or Apple iOS, then what options are there? Rolling your own is an option; one that I'd rather see more people do. But that does take time and resources (read: lots of money and developers)

Agree, but would have to append "not yet".

I'm waiting to see if they actually use MeeGo as the framework that it honestly could have been for Nokia. The aforesaid disruption is overdue for yet another disruption - tech, user demands and time (market shift or average time between disruptions given how fast tech moves) usually dictates that. But if anything, I have no clue on what's next, what's disruptive, or what Nokia could/should/may do.

Speculation might prove enlightening.

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock. Really.

@Gerb

Agreed on all points.

Disruption is usually preceded by a growing swell which creates a sea change.

Windows for Workgroups did this to Novell Netware for instance.

bit like a volcano bubbling up from below the incumbent.
