There are -some- points that are probably correct, but it has been mangled horribly and lost in a really bad article :/

It seems to me that it describes the situation almost perfectly: instead of incremental evolution, Nokia decided to rewrite (almost) everything on each iteration.
They could own the complete tablet market now, and have a sizable portion of the smartphone market, if they just fulfilled the promise of maemo.
They decided instead to mount an incredible army of Brancaleone (with all due respect with everyone involved, except management) to fight a losing war (due to the constant change of focus and direction).
