'By throwing its lot in with Microsoft, a suddenly desperate Nokia is plainly struggling to remain as relevant in the app age as it was during the reign of the candy bar phone. Something weird is going on: Cellphones are trying to be computers. And Microsoft knows computers.... Nokia plus Microsoft equals market share. Despite all the naysaying in the above video, the resulting platform is going to matter —possible more than HP/Palm's webOS. '
Hmm. But does Microsoft know mobile computing? And marketshare comes from Developer mindshare.
I am reminded of a headline from the era of the HP-Compaq merger : 'two aging tech giants stagger off into the twilight. '
