    MS ecosystem =
    1- syncing data with phone, desktop, accessible by any online access. Also use of cloud apps in this manner.
    2- cross platform from PC ( which MS has 90% of the market of) using IE9 both on desktop and on phone. Allowing developers to provide services to people on the desktop or phone
    3- allow Xbox games
    4-collaboration of map data of Nokia plus Bing’s
    5-Bing catching up on a search engine by 6% growth last month

    iphone and Droid have nothing on these 5 things MS offers Nokia!

    Elop will be in for a nasty surprise if he thinks that Microsoft WinPhone7 OS will be the savior of Nokia.

    Third ecosystem? Talk about being overly presumptuous.

    Then again, if Nokia’s share price goes to hell, Microsoft will buy over Nokia for cheap.

    Nokia should have continued the Meego OS as well as combining all the positives of each other smart phone OS. It just seems that each company is so concentrated on making their OS different and good that they have forgotten to listen to the people and look at what’s selling for other companies. This is one of the reasons Android has grown so rapidly, they listen to the market.

    Well, that was just amazing to see 2 giants holding on to each other as they sink in the sea that is andoid and iPhone. Nokia should just stick to feature phones. RIP Meego we never knew you.

    nokia wont abandon thedir other systems they will make more symbian phones and meego phones , and android will be best after wp7 and meego even symbian , “Windows may not be the exclusive operating system for Nokia tablets though.

    Mr Elop was at Microsoft before joining Nokia “We reserve the right to introduce tablets using other platforms, including ones we may be working on internally,” he said.

    Let’s take two companies that are playing catch up in the mobile market, and failing, put them together to manage a single unit. This sounds like a great idea, let’s grab the oxygen mask out of the over head before we hit the ground at 500 miles per hour cause it’s going to make it hurt less. Both companies had there time but both companies need to step out of the way or come up with something new and better. App, app, app, until two years ago there was no such thing.
