Nokia is still the worlds leading high end phone maker.

However, with the iPhone, Apple brought the market to the 'mobile computers'. The place to make money has moved on. The phone component has matured to a commodity.

The n900 is actually a very impressive device, however, with the iPhone it is the ecosystem that has generated success. For Nokia to succeed, they need to claim their own ecosystem. The n900 already has established a base with the very tech savvy users, but Nokia overall needs to LEAD with a mainstream ecosystem to succeed in 'mobile computers'.

Nokia can play catch up with apps, with music and with maps. But they need to take a LEAD, not just follow, in a mainstream ecosystem. Actually, there are some real opportunities up for grabs in the next ecosystems.....the worry is if they get too stuck in the catch up to take a lead
