So they are going to win the market by innovating in old feature phones? doesn’t make sense. This is classic innovator’s dilemma: Nokia is trying to make the mobile web better for older phones, while Apple, Google et.al make better phones for the mobile web.

wrote a post on my blog today with more depth

So they are going to win the market from the bottom up? This doesn’t stick. Classic innovator’s dilemma issue: Nokia is trying to make the mobile web better for older phones, while Apple, Google et.al make better phones for the mobile web.

I wrote a whole post on my blog about it today

Nokia has always made some good smartphones (and some terrible and expensive vanity phones.) I used to think Nokia’s issues in the U.S. were due to the closed locked subsidized model of the carriers. But Apple was able to crack the marketplace mostly on their own terms. Why can’t Nokia?

As for high end smartphones, they sold about 35 million N and E Series so they seem to be doing OK there.

This looks nice – seems to be doing what SkyFire already does for Nokia and other phones.
