...Nokia while it isn't dead yet its name like Commodore's will be devalued and will eventually forgotten except by those who truly love its products.

commodore, nokia, pur phantasy |

Both companies delivered an excellent high end product segment Commodore with its Amiga and Nokia with internet tablets and Maemo/Meego. Both companies however failed to market their high end products very well and both companies didn't provide great support for them either. In both Commodore and Nokia there was corporate side mismanagement which helped do in both companies. Both Nokia and Commodore lacked a unified platform. Commodore had multiple platforms over the years such as Commodore Dos, Commodore basic, Amiga OS, Amiga Unix and so on. Nokia had Maemo, Meego, planned to have meltemi, Symbian in its various forms, S40 and so on.
In the end Commodore was sold off and its brand found its name onto various things. Even though commodore died the Amiga platform lives on in the form traditional Amiga OS and derivatives like AROS and Morph OS. Maemo and Meego even without Nokia continue to live on in their traditional forms and through derivatives like Tizen, Sailfish, Nemo and Mer.
Nokia like Commodore was destroyed by the industry that it helped create and Nokia while it isn't dead yet its name like Commodore's will be devalued and will eventually forgotten except by those who truly love its products. The work done by both companies will continue to be used and built upon.
