Nice article there. It is good to read something a little more positive on the subject even if I am still a little miffed with the Nokiasoft merger.

One thing that I still do not trust though is the intergration of Microsofts schizophreniac search engine Bing. Really, how many times have MS revamped and renamed their search engine and social services in the last 10 years and by the time we see the WP7 phones what will it be called then?

I suppose a more serious question should posed as: What use would adopting a brand for your product when the brand in question has a history of identity issues?
