Is it just me, or does Ericsson seem to be Elop in disguise? In all his responses he puts emphasis on the word ecosystem, and yet lacks the knowledge of what an ecosystem really is.

so much for hardware design... dissect a few DeLL laptops and repackage them.
that's promising

i'm not sure what's more outrageous...
that m@ke$$h!t built the same "game computer" for 7 years without upgrading the GPU or that ppl kept buying it
what do you think?

then again

Sometimes, yes, but this time? The problem is that Elop's actions and his explanations doesn't make any sense. And even Elop evangelists are unable to dispute that, because after few rounds every discussion ends with remarks about how he surely knows something the rest of world doesn't and how without this key information nobody is able to comprehend his genial strategy.

Because it can't be that he is just another dumb CEO believing in his illusions and that there is no secret plan that will turn bad into good at the last minute.

Everyone has their own crazy predictions, it's time to log them up somewhere neat.

- Will Nokia's condition improve within the next 12 months?
- Will Elop be credited to sink or safe Nokia within the next 12 months?
- Will there be any MeeGo* devices from Nokia past N950/N9?
- Will Nokia be bought out by another company? (if yes, by whom)
Yes.

I think you meant "save". No

Yes.

Yes. Sears.

I mean, please - you are not thinking straight, not at all. The only value of Ovi Maps is people using it, more users means more money for Nokia. Ovi Maps is hell of a lot better than anything Google has managed to cook together, so WP using Ovi Maps is a net gain for both Nokia and MS, but mostly for Nokia.

Nokia and MS cannot be understood without understanding the concept of ecosystem.
you don't seem to be very up to date about Google, are you?
Google earns money with ADS
the more places their ads show, the more money they make...

always have been, always will be...

  1. Something must be done
  2. This is something
  3. Therefore it must be done

Clearly. Still don't see what links this prediction with reality, other than Microsoft's wishes/Elop's disruption.

How did any technology company ever get anything done before the word 'ecosystem' appeared on the lips of analysts/CEOs/bloggers?



All glory to the hypnosystem!
