I agree.. it's quite idylic.. but in terms of big business, why should one of the great phone manufacturers go down the pan just because a minority of people in the greater scheme of things have a gripe against the Microsofts or Googles or this world?

So, some kind of agreement between Android/Google, QNX/RIM, MeeGo/Nokia-Intel, that assures that apps will be compatible between platforms could be a huge game changer.
Opinions?
There are too many unknowns and the playing field would be too 'level' if this is achieved; so I'm really skeptical the necessary parties will let this happen.

Do you think PC makers were happy when Vista issues bit on their sales?

I sure hope this is part of a long term shock and awe recovery plan orchestrated by some marketing genius behind the scenes because getting this kind of news will scare a lot of people away from buying Nokia's current stock of bread and butter Symbian phones. His last ecosystem statement was just as vague. If I was a developer, I would think twice about putting my time and money into something that is still fluid and prone to mood swings. This is why people develop for iOS.
