naaaaar, you got that ALL wrong. key word is e-c-o-s-y-s-t-e-m, remember? ¦-)))))))))))))))
Let's be very clear, and first copy his exact words here. This is what Stephen Elop wrote about ecosystems and Nokia: "The battle of devices has now become a war of ecosystems, where ecosystems include not only the hardware and software of the device, but developers, applications, ecommerce, advertising, search, social applications, location-based services, unified communications and many other things. Our competitors aren’t taking our market share with devices; they are taking our market share with an entire ecosystem. This means we’re going to have to decide how we either build, catalyze or join an ecosystem." While it all sounds great, a bizarre thing happened between February and today. According to dozens of executives we spoke with, Nokia developers have abandoned Nokia's platforms and even more alarmingly, are not embracing Microsoft's WP7 ecosystem instead.
