My thoughts exactly.
I hate Apple, with a passion that has its reasons. None of which I am going to get into here because I am level headed and can unbiased so shouldn't have the need to explain myself.
This is NOT like Apple. To be short sighted? Very strange.
When it comes to US sales, Apple > Nokia. When it comes to world wide sales the reverse is true. Apple either knows what Nokia is after and this movie is to help prevent Nokia from reaching their goal, or they just went stupid for a day!!
In either eventuality, a win or loss does not hurt Nokia as much as it hurts Apple. A win for Apples case, to me, almost says Nokia would win theirs. Apple hasn't been in the mobile phone business long enough to really have patents that would cover technology that
Nokia
is utilizing in their devices.
When was the last time we saw a capacitive touchscreen with pinch to zoom on a Nokia device? Maybe patents are the reason Nokia has not released a capacitive screen to rival the iPhone yet? If that is the case, I am honestly OK with that reasoning. That means Nokia has been "forced" to push R&D into resistive screens, which in the long run are going to be a better technology to have as its limitations are not as pronounced as capacitive.
Just food for thought, since none of us here really can say one way or another!
Interesting times though, very interesting. I hope Nokia puts Apple in their place honestly. That company so badly needs it, lol. I also hope Nokia learns from Apple in how to polish a damn device before kicking it out the door, man do they need to learn that BAD!
