Everyone has their own crazy predictions, it's time to log them up somewhere neat.

- Will Nokia's condition improve within the next 12 months?
- Will Elop be credited to sink or safe Nokia within the next 12 months?
- Will there be any MeeGo* devices from Nokia past N950/N9?
- Will Nokia be bought out by another company? (if yes, by whom)
I'm game.

- Will Nokia's condition improve within the next 12 months?
I sincerely doubt it, even if they turned around and started doing everything right, I think it's too late. It's like trying to slow a down-hill run-away car back after it's been gaining months of speed heading downhill and then trying to push it back up to the top.
- Will Elop be credited to sink or safe Nokia within the next 12 months?
Yes, I'm certain he'll be credited with sinking this ruined company--he already has been. I can't see how he can be credit with anything but turning Nokia into his next ruined Kin project.
- Will there be any MeeGo* devices from Nokia past N950/N9?
I'm convinced that there won't be, sadly.
- Will Nokia be bought out by another company? (if yes, by whom)
Probably yes, most likely by Microsoft since it appears to me as if there's a barely discrete effort to undermine the existing and legacy workforce, products and services, stock, brand and morale.
Mark my words. I've been pretty good with predictions so far.
