From "The Nokia Blog":
So according to thenokiablog:
- There is false info in that "memo"
- Engadget acquired the true info, but also created the false info?
@Arun
I agree that WP7 is not a good strategy for Nokia . Functionality, features and openness wise, WP7 is the exact opposite of Symbian (but so is its user-friendly UI, though).
It's just that this is a situation where there are no good options and WP7 is simply the less bad one. iOS is impossible and Android is a growing bubble that could be about to blow up (thanks to chinese manufacturers).
And there's no way that Nokia, with a Finnish\European OS, will ever get positive publicity from the giant mindshare controllers that consist the USA-centric e-press and analyst firms.
Unfortunately for our open market worldwide, this political\nationalist factor is real and should be confronted as such.
That said, there's little chance that MeeGo would be accepted by the USA, even if Intel is oficially a nose-poker in the platform. The only alternative? WP7 for the USA.
Update: Just learned from a source that this is real, but it was not sent as a memo. It was a post on CEO Stephen Elop’s internal blog. I was also told “some of the info is false some true.”
Update 2: Engadget has requested not to republish the entire memo. You can read it all here:
Can you please not republish the entire Elop memo. It’s not a press release, it’s original content acquired by Engadget.
So according to thenokiablog:
