Nokia and Yahoo Teaming Up?
 

I much prefer Google's products. Do you think this will make it harder for Google to work its apps into Meego, or will it not matter considering Meego's openness?

Techcrunch guys sure like their morning drink... but be wasted and write that early in the morning? D'oh!

Let me break this down into internet speak.

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

Nokia + Yahoo = Fail central

Same reported at intomobile: http://www.intomobile.com/2010/05/21...-services.html

Gotta agree where Yahoo is concerned-- their slow decline is no secret. So I'm surprised by this quote:

Um... no.

Oh, and the more things change, the more they stay the same:

Not a good combo, imho. What is really going on with Nokia?

Outside of the Intel/Moblin/MeeGo decision, not much more that's been made public makes sense.

Re: Nokia and Yahoo Teaming Up?
 

i think this is the final straw for me. nokia's lacking maemo support, meego's immaturity, and now the integration of yahoo's services really make android appealing. we've been waiting for way too long for the maemo bugs to be stomped out and i'm afraid meego is going to be more of the same. i really hope i'm wrong, and i'll wait to see how meego performs, but if it's just as buggy and full of yahoo services, i'm going to jump ship for an android phone.

It's all speculation until Monday.

I am an engineer. So I love math equations and this I believe qualifies as a new theory!

And I agree.

Re: Nokia and Yahoo Teaming Up?
 

Honestly what's up with some of the people here?
Nokia is partner of Microsoft, just today made agreement with Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and VW to make provide in-car apps and greater smartphone integration tech, Nokia is doing work closely with Intel and have made agreements with Google of using it search engines in Symbian long time ago and different Google services.

These things happen every month with intel or Nokia sized company, but in somehow some people make this news negative. :confused:

Future, blah, blah, blah.

People in future will buy what they are buying now. Most people I know are faithful to brands they choose several years ago. Even if they were *****ing about Nokia/SE/Samsung/whatever their next phone in overwhelming number of cases was of the same brand.

In developing world majority of people will buy cheap phone from A today (or get hand-me-down from family member), feature phone from A tomorrow and smarphone from A next week (if they will need it at all).
