Wow. I want some of what they are smoking.<p>Had Nokia mixed their ecosystem in with Google's at an earlier stage of the development of Android, Nokia might well be where Samsung is now, or have a big slice of that pie.<p>It is galling to read justifications like "Nokia does not have Samsung’s vertical integration" when the reason is parts of that had to be thrown overboard to prevent collapse. Nokia still has more software capability than Samsung.<p>Android scales down to low-end hardware pretty well, and Nokia would have had a successor to S40, too. When the S40 business gets hit by the onslaught of very inexpensive Androids from China, the game is pretty much up for Nokia.<p>Nokia started from a position of commanding, unassailable dominance. Analysts called Nokia "Tier Zero" of the mobile device business. The platform may have been burning, but the result of subsequent decisions has been that it has become a charred remnant.
