Think about n-gage, Wi-Fi, voIP, dual SIM and particularly about who it was that kicked Nokia out of the US market some years ago (yes, the carriers).



In the mobile world, Apple is way bigger than Microsoft and look at what has happened with the SIM-less iPhone5. Hey, Google is huge too and remember the great "success" the Nexus One was.


Unfortunately, Nokia is. And it is not going to be nice.
I was not talking about the US but point taken as i know nothing of how they are there.

In the mobile world Apple may well be bigger than MS but i think the gap will close if MS have anything to do with it, Nokia can still be classed as the biggest mobile hardware producer this world has so you team that with the biggest software company this world has and something has to happen, wow you do not like MS do you but i agree with your points mostly.
