Nokia

Today I had some thoughts on Nokia's business model. Nokia is a company that made their fortune making cell phones for people who want to TALK to each other. Gazillions of people around the world started out using a Nokia phone (including me) that was provided by a service provider of some sort.

The big problem, in my opinion, is that people no longer use that model any longer. The vast majority of people don't ever use their cell phones to actually talk any more. They use them for texting, running apps and everything else BUT talking.

I'm sorry Nokia, and MSFT too, but you've missed the boat. You'll never catch up with Android.
