Poor Bert, he has been slagged off for making his preference for Android known - he wasn't really dissing anything.
I agree that they shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket but they should be on a secure financial footing before they should commit resources to an OS that is yet to guarantee a good financial return - it costs millions to bring a new phone to market, does it not?
He has also admitted that they are paying now for underestimating the iPhone and having no other strategy other than to flood the market with copycat Walkman and Cyber-shots in an attempt at grabbing market share - a very expensive mistake.
UIQ was a missed opportunity IMO - that could have developed into something unique - isn't HTC now exploring developing it's own OS?
I hope they can turn things around - their 2011 Xperias are a step in the right direction at least.
Exactly my thoughts!

Technically you can run Windows apps in Linux as well through Wine. But its still not the same. It simply
does not work as well. While Nokias try to offer Android "compatibility" is admirable, it remains to be seen how
well it will work in reality (I have my doubts).

Where did you read that?
AFAIK That's for Meego with the whole Alien Dalvik engine, not their WP devices, I doubt MS would allow that to happen.

I'm very curious about WP on a Nokia device.My upgrade is May next year.I'm hoping there will be that extra option available for me but from where I stand now,Android is my first choice.
