Good point, mobile divide. I'm also curious as to how the NIT would fare (in the marketplace) had it been infused with more support (cash and development personnel, marketing, etc) from Nokia.

Seeing as Apple is making money left and right from iphone (from mobile operator, from developers, users, itunes content maker, etc) everyone is propelling that platform further and further along, unlike Nokia which doesn't seem to get much support except from the diehard users and independent developers.

As to what the corporate talking heads want, I think they prefer corporate support and brand name (Something visible that other big names have already used giving it 'track record') compared to 'stability'.
