Burning platforms
« on: February 15, 2011, 10:44:06 AM »
Am I the only one here who's fascinated by what's going on in Nokia at the moment? The biggest name in mobile phones committing corporate suicide. Very sad  :(

Yes - it's amazing that it's taken to realise that they nearly committed suicide the first time and now that they realise they made a big mistake - what do they do ? - think about it and then make an even bigger mistake  :(

Agreed. Dumping their own technology for WinPhone7 might go down in corporate history as one of THE big mistakes. I notice today that Nokia's share price has gone down 25% since last Friday. $20 + billion off their share price in two and a half days  :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
