When it dies, the primary causes of Nokia’s demise will be well known. It will be the same force that killed RIM, the same force that’s ravaging Sony. It’s the all-powerful software platform.
Farhad Manjoo’s excellent take on the decline of Nokia. It’s not about the device, it’s about the platform. Only if Sony had realised that 10 years ago, my favourite electronics company would’ve perhaps been in a better place.
