Windows Phones will get IE9 later so I assume they will play H.264 content. The question is rather whatever there will be any WebM codecs which you can install as well or not.
No but seriously. The Norwegians only handle the peace price. Everything else is handled over here in Sweden. Maybe their ideas differ? =P
It's only this way because they where supposed to be more alliance free or whatever back when we owned them. Now it's the other way around, or well, at least they own our workers and their asses:D
But the winners on Android is ZTE, Huawei, HTC, Acer and all the other new players. And then there's the huge giants like Samsung, Motorola, LG and Sony-Ericsson which also fight for their share. But it's a quite level playing field and do they really want to try to compete against the others in price and margins? Who got the most to gain? If Nokia jumped in, late, what would they gain? Would people buy their phones? Probably. Would it be a huge win? Maybe not?
WP is small. Samsung, HTC and LG are probably not that dedicated. At least for the moment. Nokia jumps in? And then what? Who own the market?
They'd be much later into the Windows phone game than Android, they will still have to compete with other Windows phone manufacturers and nobody wants Windows phones anyway.
If I put my own ideas on everyone else then no-one would want Apple products or vendor fucked up Android phones either.
But it seems I'm wrong.
So the phone run WP8. The interface is new. The label read Nokia. Interaction is smooth.
Q1 forecast where crap, but still profit. Q2 and Q3, who knows? Q4 if they have WP-phones ready?
2012?
I have no idea what was better long-term.
Too bad if they had focused on MeeGo and then it didn't worked vs Android. Then what? Symbian? No. Switch to Android and/or WP? Too late?
At least now WP got a much bigger chance of success, Nokia gets something with a market share and which doesn't compete head on with Android on similar merits.
MeeGo? Who knows? If it gets done and work there's nothing saying it will never ever end up in a Nokia phone.
The other solution would be like to be to do like HTC: provide both Android and WP7 phones and see what the market wants.
My vote: * Keep on short-term improving Symbian if they want to. Or keep it and just release it on more and cheaper phones. * Go Android and WP with stock configurations. Ignore trying to steal the service market, develop their own shit. And so on. Just sell the phones. They already have been selling at low margin in the emerging market. That has worked? They are still number one? What say people would prefer anything else? * Let MeeGo continue, release if they want to when done.
* Awesome camera. * HDMI. * USB OTG (mouse, keyboard,..) * USB MS (HDD, memory sticks) * Good navigation software. * 720p video playback, also on external screen. * WebTV. * People complain on the browser but I assume you can switch to for instance Opera. So why does it matters? * Flash Lite. * Xenon flash. * Something more I forgot to mention. * QT
Nokia has lost the Smartphone market. UNLESS they do Android, and make a phone that is unlocked, easily rootable and with a "we support users not telcos" attitude.
That won't happen. Nokia want to be unique and sell at higher margins and not offer stock. And think too much of themselves. So no, just no.
Get the Nexus or N900 if this is what you want.
Don't really know why you diss MeeGo so much but whatever. They where probably too slow there.
At the strategy day price fell straight to 63 sek again, recovered somewhat but then broken through it.
Open around 69.5, dip 63, peak 71.1, close 68.2 or where about on report day.
Peak 74.8 or so two days before.
Open around 66.8, dip 60.5, close 61.3 or where about on strategy day.
So most likely lots of speculation and hope for the strategy day. If the stock had traded for what? 64-65 sek and then had fallen to 62-63 before the strategy day the fall would probably not had been as big.. or hard.
~ 18% speculation, ~ 21.5% fall. No free lunch.
Or well. Unless you reacted and in the right direction that is:)
Rates just increased today in Stockholm so the USD will most likely keep on falling against the SEK now. Which obviously will make things look even worse here, again.
USD was 8.1 SEK early summer or so, it's most likely below 6.5 SEK now.
People aren't forced to use Debian. Either add non-free or install Ubuntu if you prefer that.
There's more than enough distributions for everyone.
The Debian people want to keep it clean, the Canonical people probably want it to work, atleast to a further extent. Though last time I ran Ubuntu you didn't had all the codecs, decss and such either, but nice wiki(?) entries which explained how to easily get them if you wanted to.
I doubt much of anything else he said where true either. Though I don't know and I don't care.
For instance I doubt OpenOffice "is dead", forked yes, dead? Probably not..
And if it's dying, is it because of Oracle or the people who forked it? And was that because Oracle did anything wrong or they where scared that Oracle would do something wrong?
Slashdot Mirror
And on a mac it doesn't. Neither does the battery. Which most likely was his point.
How can I be sure this isn't some sort of trap setup by lawyers around the globe? :D
In videos (mediaplayer) or on websites?

How great.
Norwegian Nobel price....
What to expect?! ;D

Can you install applications from other sources than Microsofts market on WP?
Maybe Microsoft don't want to have to "make it available" all the time either.
iStockExchange is a free download for MobileMe members.
But Apple take 30% on every trade ...
Was the consequences of the loss of the automatic trade?
Everybody won? :D
Windows Phone 7 isn't Windows Mobile 6.5 though.
And the next major revision/version of Windows Phone won't be Windows Phone 7.
He probably meant if they would switch to Android? Then they would indeed be late.

Three horse race? Nah... Rather seven horse.
Symbian, Android, WP, iOS, MeeGo, RIMM/QNX, WebOS.
Eventually join MeeGo effort with RIMM/QNX effort.
So on horse died? Two? They would still have horses running =P
And since they are the biggest seller of mobile phones why can't they sell for multiple OSes? HTC can.
Hint: there's a reason Nokia had 7th largest R&D budget. No, not of phone or IT companies but ALL of them.
This is why:

Just what their developers should be doing! Amazing! ..
... the forgotten one was:
* Five (?) band 3G.
No review I've seen of the N8 has been positive.
However lots of people who actually purchased the phone has been.
Engadget camera fail and what not .. Also "omg it switch screen after 0.5 seconds! What to do?"

Indeed. I was impressed with the lack of silly metaphors, such as "burning oil platforms."
Burning Windows flags and throwing darts at Steve Ballmer photos? :D
2) Way to keep /. crowd happy!
3) ???
4) Profit!
They had also approached RIMM:
No easily found URL in smart bar. Sorry :D
Worth noticing is that it they had also gained around:
75.5 / 63 = 1.1984127
(if I remember correctly.)
19.84% from the bottom at the Q4 report with Q1 forecast until two days before the strategy day on NASDAQ (ended at 74+ SEK here.)
Since the value raised up from the dip before NASDAQ opened this wasn't much noticed on NASDAQ charts.

People aren't forced to use Debian. Either add non-free or install Ubuntu if you prefer that.
There's more than enough distributions for everyone.
The Debian people want to keep it clean, the Canonical people probably want it to work, atleast to a further extent. Though last time I ran Ubuntu you didn't had all the codecs, decss and such either, but nice wiki(?) entries which explained how to easily get them if you wanted to.
Keeping it free and open is evil? =P
Or stable and outdated?
If you want an open and stable distribution Debian works.
I doubt much of anything else he said where true either. Though I don't know and I don't care.
For instance I doubt OpenOffice "is dead", forked yes, dead? Probably not ..
And if it's dying, is it because of Oracle or the people who forked it? And was that because Oracle did anything wrong or they where scared that Oracle would do something wrong?
