Nokia, Palm line up against Microsoft | |
|
||
| Time: 09:48 EST/14:48 GMT | News Source: | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Phone and PDA firms Nokia and Palm are fuelling fresh complaints about Microsoft's monopolistic practices, according to reports on Dow Jones. The nine states which decided to stick out against a DoJ (Department of Justice) settlement last month will invoke Finnish outfit Nokia and Palm as witnesses to the alleged infringements. Nokia, which some analysts see as somewhat losing its edge this year, is probably concerned about developments such as the Sendo phone, which we reported on last month. |

As I've said before, it wasn't consumers that started this whole case, it was competitors.
Netscape had 85%+ market share when they asked the DOJ for help. Market share has nothing to do with it... it's all about using the law as a tool to crush competition. I'm not saying Microsoft hasn't done things that are against the law, they have... I'm saying it's irrational and illogical to charge Microsoft with anti-competitive monopolistic practices in a completely unrelated field. How exactly does Microsoft leverage Windows in the cell phone business? Of course they can leverage their vast resources... IT'S CALLED CAPITALISM. Sheeshe. |

Palm has failed to innovate in the past 4 years. The devices have remained virtually unchanged since the Palm Pro. I don't know what they expected.
As far as Nokia goes. They came in and ran Motorola out of the market by building a better product. If someone else runs them out, who are they to complain? I like Nokia, but again their product lines have remained virtually unchanged for a couple of years now. If you aren't moving forward ahead of the competition, you are going to lose. |

| If Nokia support such a rediculous law suit against Microsoft, I'll not purchase any phones from them in the future. I'll wait till Microsoft has a "Stinger" on the market and buy it just to spite Nokia. Their involvement in this law suit is just absurd. Palms involvement is equally as absurd, but I'm already committed to PocketPC, so there isn't much else my wallet can do to them. |

I have a Motorola StarTAC 7868w. Does everything I need it to do, plus a few extra goodies, and it's nice and small.
Only thing that's lacking is the interface... it SUCKS. A LOT. Seriously. |
