Yes, that's the way forward in the technology industry; don't do the hard work yourself, pay somebody else to do it for you. The next obvious step for Nokia is to outsource hardware development to, say, Motorola or somebody. Then, just slap the "Nokia" name somewhere on the thing and boom, the company is rolling in pure profit!
