I don't know. I'm more of a hardware kind of guy. Something else is bound to pop up, someone is bound to make the same mistakes as Nokia. The focus on open platforms instead of focusing on creating first rate software teams with first rate leadership has more or less killed Nokia. The notion that software just happens, given enough developers and openness is just plain wrong in a commercial context.

But, there is definitely a market for hardware for the open source community. It is a small niche, but more than large enough to sustain itself. It is a matter of focus here also, focus must be on creating that hardware, not ruling the world. That is what went wrong with Nokia. Don't be surprised if Samsung comes to help
