Apple v. Android v.

First, if you review Mike Elgan’s articles, he is Apple-biased....which is fine, but he does not admit it. For example, he calls Google “arrogant” in an article!
Nokia was riding a dead horse. Symbian sucked and always sucked, in my opinion. I think HP is fooling itself if it thinks people will flock back to Palm OS when it has been out of the game for so long.
Nokia’s hardware is not “junk” like the author claims. Nokia is known for some very compelling handsets, especially for the European market.
I agree that Nokia should bring a minimalist handset to market, a mid-range and a top-of-the-line smartphone. Perhaps, even getting to slates over time.
I do not agree that teaming with Microsoft is following a flawed strategy. I see it as splitting the difference between Apple and Google.
Think about it. Apple is one handset-—take it or leave it.
Google has multiple handsets, of all flavors, but running different variants of their OS, and few getting upgraded at all.
Microsoft could split the difference by offering multiple handsets with the same OS, all being updated at the same time since WP7 sets the internal hardware specs only, not the external.
This is still a market in flux, time will tell.
Why is Nokia/Microsoft a loser while Palm/HP is “a sudden player again”.
Fantastic article. It’s great for strategy buffs. You might disagree with his recommendation, but his article about Apple’s and Google’s strategies is spot on, and his strategy recommendation for Nokia is at least defensible.
But they'd better get on it.
I stopped buying their phones when the President of the company showed what a devour liberal he was.
