I agree it is not the goal of the platform, its the goal of Nokia, the platform is how they implement the message - it is not the message in itself. it is similar in approach to what apple did with the iphone - they said that your mobile, should be able to do anything = there is an app for that. (even if it is a serial process)

Nokia has a different story to tell - maybe your phone is your connection to the digital world - or you don't need an app for that. I dont know what the final message will be...
