I started wonderintg about this possibility 2 years ago. If it happened, I would expect mobile computers (including netbooks) to stay. They serve the internet services business.

(originally twittered by my friend silpol)
Makes me question the competency of Mr.Anssi Vanjoki as an executive within the ranks of Nokia. Nokia playing catch up in the online solutions area? Google is the only entity that has a broader portfolio then Nokia and that is solely because that is Googles core business – mining and selling its users data. Apple has an App store and a music store. RIM, Messaging and (Ha!) an app store.

Nokia's current portfolio includes:
Maps/Navigation
File sharing
Image sharing
E-mail/Messaging
App store
Cloud synchronization

All this available from a PC or a handset – many of these services sync between the PC and handset.

A gaggle of toddlers with crayons could market the brand better then Nokia. Instead of cowering in the corner whimpering " we got to do better", Nokia should grow a backbone and start a Verizon /Droid iDon't campaign.

Remember Vine? FriendView? Sport Tracker? Mobile Chat? Nokia has been there, done that… and they aren't raping your privacy to sell data and ad space. I hope they keep the core business hardware - that way they don't get ideas about monetizing my data.

(Head in hands)…what losers –can't get out of their own way!
