Third Ecosystem, Cloud Platforms and New Mobility Era in the workings
by DrSalonen on February 15, 2011
The market is sizzling with comments of the recent Microsoft/Nokia collaboration decisions. Some blog entries estimate that this marriage will be a problem for other OEM vendors using Windows Phone 7 while some blog entries estimate that this decision is very bad for Google. Only time will tell what this will lead to, but from a market research and analysis perspective, the decision what Nokia did is a game changer for the mobile industry. It is now a game of three, as I am not going to count RIM with is BlackBerry platform to be a real contestant going forward. Others agree like can be seen in InformationWeek article......
.....The more I think about this change, the more I see opportunities that entrepreneurs can take advantage of. One should not be naïve, but estimate each decision from a company perspective what is the best way to approach this new strategic relationship. I am convinced that in a few weeks once more information comes available you will see things happening that would not have happened without this Microsoft/Nokia collaboration. And what is most important, consumers will benefit of this move as the competition will increase and developers can focus on building applications and accumulate intellectual property on top of the platforms.
"Editor: Hopefully MS+Nokia will allow other hand held enpoints ( Andriod, Chrome, iOS and etc.) into their ecosystem. It would be a smart interim move similar to Ray Noorda famous coopetition strategy. -KP"
