Future of mobile: How Nokia shows what's really important - and it's not apps | ZDNet
Summary
Unlike almost all of its rivals in the smartphone space, Nokia doesnt have a platform of its own to support in the long-term: its using Windows Phone for the foreseeable future, leaving OS development and updates in Microsofts hands. On the plus side, Nokia has worked hard to get the services on its handsets up to scratch, and as a result now has market-leading apps for mapping, free music and has arguably some of the best imaging software in a phone in the form of the PureView system. Since then its continued to develop the services, adding public transport and driving navigation to a growing list of features, which also includes offline access. "The multi-platform approach, now supporting iOS and Android and working with companies like Amazon, proves that Nokia has bigger plans for its location and commerce business." However, unlike its mapping moves, Nokia hasnt made a sound about allowing other manufacturers to include its image processing engine or other photo-trickery, but that doesnt mean that it wont one day.
