Re: the worst of all worlds...

Well said. It is better to improve the current languages, if found lacking rather than building new languages that are not drastically unique or with killer features.

Wonderful Opportunity for Nokia to resurrect itself.

Wonderful Opportunity for Nokia to resurrect itself.

Nokia had many loyal fans for so many years, till Microsoft ex employee took over as its CEO. Most of the close observers predicted correctly that Elop would ultimately kill Nokia or make Nokia surrender to Microsoft. It happened. Nokia's innovative culture and Microsoft's Ctl C , CTV +, rename culture won't be suitable for their marriage to hold for a longer time. It is good that Microsoft concentrate on Windows Mobile phone for another decade and getting abandoned like xbox .

It is a blessing in Disguise for Nokia now to resurrect and embrace fully Android eco system and start producing top level Smart Phones and low level features phones. In the resurrected stage it can easily become number 4 in the mobile phone market and later climb to the top position competing with Samsung and HTC , like before. (/without Microsoft)
