Android-"ecosystem" is too big to fight against anymore. Too many fans, too many users, too many good applications. So to be succesfull, IMO Nokia should join it some way; either by doing Android-devices or then Tizen-devices with Dalvik VM; Tizen+Android-hybrid.

Second Tizen? Do you really beleive that will ever happen!?
Yes, if there is a Dalvik VM also and both Java-based and native-code based Android applications can be used and they have all needed Android API:s and interprocess interfaces available. I don't believe so much anymore pure Tizen-system, but hybrid Tizen+Android, where real OS underneath is Tizen, which provides Cyanogen-type interface to upper layers.


There is too many people here who thinks Android would save Nokia. Hell no it would not. How serious would that be to add Android to the portfolio when they already has this mess?
Having Samsung Galaxy S3 type of Android device with Nokia PureView camera, would steal SGS3 customers to Nokia. And there will be millions. Samsung has sold SGS2 over 20 millions.

What they should have done is:

* lobbying as hell for Qt
* Get the damn next billion devices released with fully Qt/Linux and make it open
* Port Qt to WP
* Officially support Qt on Android/Iphone
* stop patenttroll RIM for multitasking and similar when they actually already support Qt
* Stop pissig samsung of and make some kind of deal to add Qt to Tizen.
I agree on those. I'd also like to see official or at least semi-official support for Qt in Android, Tizen, iOS and WP. But I do not believe Qt only device will be succesfull anymore, it is too late for that.

Qt and Qt-support and Navteqq would maybe be the valuable things Nokia brings in the soup, when it would join Tizen work group and join somehow Android-system either with Android-devices or Tizen+Android-hybrid-devices.
