Jesus. I know it's not the OS. That is not the point. Christ !!! I am referring to Ahonen's bull about no other OS being able to handle PureView technology. PureView has been developed in FIVE YEARS. No matter what OS it was intended for 5 years ago, if it was S40, Palm OS, WM, iOS, Maemo, MeeGo, Bada, WebOS, whatever. PureView would work on the particular OS it was developed for no matter what, and no other. Ahonen's argument is nonsense.

If I made an app for Palm and no other OS, does that make Palm a superior OS? No, it makes me stupid for making an app on a dead OS. Nokia makes HW that work only on Symbian (an os with a market share in free fall), does that make Symbian Superior? No, it makes Nokia stupid.

The stupidity is unbelievable actually. Nokia has this gem of a technology that is protected with more than 80 patents. Any other company with such a technology in their hands (except Apple), would put that technology on a top end Android device to be sure that the profit from that technology is maximized. The last thing any other company would do was to put that technology on a device running Symbian.
