It is crystal clear now: Microsoft software is the best platform for smartphones and PDA phones! September 03, 2003 [General] | By anonymous 1. More and more analysts directly or indirectly are confirming that Microsoft software constitutes the best choice for the new generations of smart phones or PDA phones... Despite all the anxiety and industry noise surrounding the choice of operating systems for smartphones, the final arbiter is user experience. writes IT-Analysis.com. But why users should experiment with some proprietary smartphone software, with some new unknown user experience, if they can chose windows powered smart phone like Microsoft smartphones and Pocket PC phones? Windows powered, it means with user experience that most users already know because they use Windows either at home or at the office! It is nonsense to force users to learn new software in smart phones if they can simply use Windows both in desktop PCs and in cell phones! That proves, that Microsoft software is the best solution for consumers from the user experience point of view. At the same time Palm and Nokia (with its puppet Symbian) are producing their own smart phones what makes their smart phone software offering a non-sincere scam (they compete with their own software license takers): Nokia faces what´s known as the ´Apple problem´, which is. to put it crudely, how do you license material to your competitors without the competitors taking advantage. And equally, how can we trust you to license your crown jewels without the suspicion remaining that you´ve kept all the good bits for yourselves? writes The Register. Thus Nokia and Palm are cannibalizing cell phone vendors that buy software from them! The only rational choice is buying smart phone software from Microsoft, because Microsoft is not producing any cell phones, but just is licensing it to hardware vendors. That proves, that Microsoft software is the best solution for cell phone vendors from the market chances point of view. By the way Symbian phone SX1 from Siemens is being again delayed and Motorola is dumping its stake in Symbian. It looks like Symbian is becoming, gradually, the sole property of Nokia, the corporation heaquarted in Finland in Eastern Europe, corporation that is already now in possesion of 40% market share globally in cell phone market and wants to grab even more market share in smart phone area. It looks like hardware vendors are turning away from Symbian and it will soon become the sole property of Nokia. Thus licensing software from Nokia or Symbian, makes no business sense for hardware vendors because their market share, if they would do it, will be eaten by Nokia anyway... Conclusion: licensing software for cell phones from Microsoft and buying Microsoft powered cell phones is what makes the most sense both for hardware vendors and for end users.
