During a shareholder's meeting, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop addressed the crowd about issues with carriers and the use of Skype. Elop said: "Nokia seems to be having a problem with the distribution channel due to Skype…If the operator doesn't want us, it doesn't want us. We will appeal to them with other arguments.

It's been revealed that amidst Nokia's attempt to get back on top by investing in the Windows Phone 7 platform its revenue stream counts Apple as a major contributor. As with Microsoft and Google, to whom Apple also pays significant amounts of money to license the ideas that run the iPhone, payments made by Apple for licensing deals and settlements for claims of patent infringement have added more income to Nokia's bottom line than sales of the Lumia series...

Firms iSuppli and IDC have changed their Windows Phone predictions and retracted their analysis that the operating system would take second place by 2015.

A couple of days ago Microsoft uploaded an updated version of the Windows Phone SDK to their developer servers. The new version will now run on Windows 8 machines and, more significantly, sets Microsoft up to deviate from their original Windows Phone philosophy of providing an identical quality of user experience by mandating exactly what hardware can be used in Windows Phone handsets. This model is - or was - an interesting move by Microsoft when they announced the original WinMo7. It was clearly... (Keep reading..) |
