"Die Slowly" ... Symbian

Nokia's share in the smartphone area has fallen below 50% and growing at a rapid pace. Winners are the New-Comer Apple and RIM, which have now already a third of the market conquered, and that has nothing to do with phone calls. Around the corner lurks with Google Android, the 3rd HTC version is already quite well, other manufacturers will follow shortly, and new players such as Dell, Garmin, etc. enter the arena. The smartphone market is interesting, growth, profits and innovation will be realized and there he is getting into the Netbook Business - ARM is preparing ahead in order to snatch Intel market share.

Symbian is now dusty and very outdated. It goes back to Psion / EPOC in the nineties, then there was the Internet yet. At Nokia, is emerging a transition to "Maemo" for the high-end devices. It's just like Intel's Moblin or Google's Android built on Linux. Microsoft Windows Mobile is in the same corner as Symbian - obsolete, demand-over, decreasing buyer interest.

Now, if the cooperation between Nokia and Microsoft announced a "Mobile Office", it means that keep each other seriously ill and foot-dragging, to compete against Usain Bolt in the 100-meter sprint. Who will win because is easy to guess.
