@monkbent Wonder how Amazon feels about choosing Android for the Kindle Fire though. That part of Amazon’s business is the inverse of Nokia.

@blakehill I'm sure they feel great. Why wouldn't they? -
@monkbent It’s at Google’s mercy now. Google gradually starts closing down parts of the OS, tries to own the full experience with Motorola… -
@blakehill then they stick with their fork. Still better than starting from scratch. -
@monkbent It’ll be interesting to see what happens with the Kindle Fire business. Seems like it could be something, but won’t be. -
@blakehill yep. No one really knows

@monkbent If Nokia wanted to go Android, they should have done in 2008. Irrelevant after that. -
@srijit_s agree they should have 2008 (although 2009 more realistic), but even in 2011 it's now clear WP was not the right choice -
@monkbent@srijit_s How is WP not a good choice? Market share has been growing very steady;http://winsupersite.com/windows-phone/report-windows-phone-usage-surges-europe-mexico … -
@shameermulji@srijit_s because they no longer exist as an independent entity?

@monkbent was Nokia in a fit financial state to forego MIcrosoft's money? -
@RogerShepherd In 2009, when it was clear what to do, absolutely. In 2011 they should have sold something to make it happen

@monkbent If Nokia went with Android, it'd have joined the HTC, Sony, LG etc crowd, and would it have made the £7billion cash today? -
@SuperJack why would it have joined them? Nokia beat Samsung previously -
@monkbent@SuperJack Samsung in 2011 with Android was much more formidable than they were with feature phones or Symbian. Nokia was late.
