Nokia is boosting production of WP8 - How when the OS isn't even finished yet and the phone hasn't been designed yet?

I see it in a bigger and longer term:

WP8/W8 embedded ITSELFs may very well succes.

For endusers: because WP8 integrates better with W8. (If I get it right thgey both will use same "SDK"?

Also if Microshit make a better embedded development framework for theyr "ARM toolchains" , based on VisualStudio, it may very well harm Android and ofcourse embedded Linux.

Reason: developers and hw manufactors are lazy and in the moment eclipse (for example) is bloated peice of **** in embedded. And if no one comes up with something better Microsoft will take over this area :/

Also setting up a developer toolchain for linux is still complicated beast.

I hink I run oftopic here but back to topic. WP8 itself may take back users and hwmanufactors from Android. But question is if Nokia will win much of this deal... Probadly not. In case of W8 tablets Nokia is probadly already loosing comming battle. Cause there will come atleast 20 different tablets runing W8 Q4.

So still Nokia is doomed...

We could onkly hope that Jolla is Nokoia planB..... Probadly not but...
