You know, making yet another smartphone OS meant for the general public is a dead end. The time for new OS'es is over.

If the Jolla team had a tiny bit of entrepreneurial fibre in their bodies, they would go for smartTVs. That's were things are happening, thats where you can still make a difference before Google/Apple/MS take it all, that's where Linux and Qt fits right in. Start with a tiny box with internet/wifi and HDMI, a good UI and the world is yours (at least for some time). But no, they will continue with the nonsense that got them sacked in the first place. The least they could do is make a real hacker device, a device for the enthusiast, there's not many of those around.

Plenty of those already exist (running Android of course): Android TV Boxes

Only a few years ago the market was dominated by Symbian, RIM and Windows Mobile. Then Samsung, LG, Sony, Motorola, etc... all abandoned Symbian for Android. Look how that changed the market.

Android is by no means perfect and Google has purchased Motorola which has caused friction. Some of the manufacturers who abandoned Symbian because they thought NOKIA had too much control over it could feel the same about Motorola and Android now.

In fact some of them are already rumoured to be looking at alternatives. Samsung have already tested the temperature with Bada and now they're working on Tizen. Some of the up and coming Chinese manufacturers like ZTE are also planning devices using Tizen and Firefox OS.

Who knows, maybe even WPx could develop a market share that's something more significant than a margin of error.

Then of course we have BB10 on the horizon.

The market is not as settled as you like to suggest.

You actually made some sense now. But, IMO smart TV is much easier to get into atm. A smaller market, but a simpler market.

But Jolla is doing that [compete in the "smart" TV market] too, they just won't make their own TV initially.

Jolla's odds are close to my odds of winning 250000000 on lottery. They got no chance.

So you mean that now you won't win the Nokia stock lottery that you (as you stated) heavily invested in?
