This is a different kind of embarrassment – worse than Balmer declaring he would kill Schmidt. I’ve never seen such collective plain wrongness since Bill Gates only used the word “internet” 5 times in his 1995 book The Road Ahead.

Still, it gave me a laugh so thanks.

@Vipin. This is not a Nokia’s win, but SonyEricsson exiting Symbian and leaving it in hands of Nokia, maybe just to see SE now moving to Android. Symbian is an OS with very poor usability compared to iPhone, Blackberry, Android and even Windows Mobile.

Yes that is correct though they were ambiguous in saying that it was in the second half of 2008, which could mean any day after June 30, 2008. Not it is in the 4th quarter, which could technically mean, last day of this year. I think more I hear about it (from my sources), more it seems like it could be delayed.

This is clearly a platform that will make an impact in the second half of 2009 – but will the carriers wait as other platforms emerge.
