Now the interesting aspect will be how would those 800x480 apps upscale to fit the 1280x768 screen of Lumia 920...
The SDK beta will also be tightly-controlled to only partners so that bugs and "features" are not leaked...Now think about it if you have special features wouldn't you drop feed them via leaks?
Isn't that what happens all the time? After all iOS and Android have shown their hands already...
No matter how much I hate Elop; I still would want Nokia to succeed in some form and this doesnt do their chances any good...If you look closely at the Lumia 920s shown off at the press event you can clearly see the lags which would be unthinkable on much slower hardware running WP7.5...
So quite difficult for Nokia at this moment...

Jolla ain't gonna be that open either. Especially if they're having to license the bits we know about.
And the N900 wasn't fully open either. That trend of exaggerating that needs to end now.
I am really asking , without any dose of irony.
Could you mean the N800/N810? (not gsm devices though).
Could you mean... some droids , let's say Galaxy S 2? (I doubt it)
The HP Pre 3 then?
please tell us man!

profit & survival = margin (on each sold unit) X SALES
no sales <=> no survival
period
no sales <=> no survival

God! The first thing I would want them to learn from Apple is the over-exaggerating marketing hype that Apple generates...It can only be good for Nokia to follow such...
Moving towards closed source to make money?...Why can't we look at things objectively; WP was their choice from WP & Android...Plain Simple...They didn't want to engage into wars with other OEMs in using Android [Samsung would have had them for breakfast]...
We never know if Nokia will exist to even see out the WP-contract...Maybe then there is a change of mindset or they are self-sufficient to make their own software again...
Don't take things so personally...Its just a corporation trying to maximise its profits+chances of survival for better returns for its shareholders and they would use whatever it takes to achieve it [open, closed, s*** etc.]...
Just like Apple uses iTunes, this Lumia 900 uses zunes to synchornize everything.
Just like Apple it has closed the option of sharing music using bluetooth.
Their charger and doc connector is similar to that of iPhone / iPad where it has white USB charger with a connector to main power.
So looks like Nokia is blindly apeying Apple and they think they will be successful by doing that
