Google executive, Vic Gundotra, teased about this alliance as "Two turkeys do not make an Eagle".
Sorry, Vic, we are not on the same page!
I still believe that Nokia and Microsoft are not turkeys to be slaughtered, by teaming up, they two still have opportunity to catch up with Google and Apple.
Nokia and Microsoft still have competition advantage in the industry of both mobile phone and operation system.
Microsoft Windows is No.1 PC operation system with its own browser and search engine. Its outlook is still the most popular and widely used contacts management tool in the world. Xbox is also the most influential game console in US. Smart phone will integrate with more and more application. Microsoft current resource is very valuable to it.
Nokia is not only the largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world. It also have one mature online mobile app store: OVI. OVI's map function is much better than other phone vendors' similar products, which will be cool for the future implantation of a variety of location-based services.
The race is now on for the software and hardware giants to prove their new phones can fly. In order to fly, the most important thing for this alliance is how to abandon. How to abandon the PC-based thinking, how to abandon past UI/menu design, how to abandon past software architecture which proves not suitable for smart phones. As long as the two companies can really integrate together with a better understanding about themselves. The alliance still has a great chance.
The emergence of the Nor-MS alliance will means a tripartite confrontation, Android, iPhone and Nor-MS, in mobile industry.We can only wait and see how this works out.
