Nokia tips hat to Apple, RIM

http://www.intomobile.com/2008/10/02/nokia-tips-hat-to-apple-rim.html


Quote:

Nokia talked a bit about competitors today and was generally cool with throwing them a bone, while of course remaining confident in their own progress. For example, they respected RIM’s ability to work into the enterprise back-end while still claiming Nokia would overtake their numbers in the next couple of months thanks to a recent arrangement with Microsoft and Cisco. Similarly, Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo said of Apple, “We have a new, credible competitor in this business. You know I need to take my hat off … Of course we need to be able to respond to any competitor and we will.” When it comes to a statement like that, you can’t help but take a look at the Tube and wonder if that’s supposed to be their answer to the iPhone. In any case, that’s the classy way to talk about competition. When announcing their Q2 earnings, RIM rebuffed the idea that the iPhone posed any threat whatsoever, which some investors thought was ignorant and downright delusional. Despite decent growth numbers, RIM’s stock took a dive following the conference call, which was further compounded by the US stock market crash. It just goes to show that attitude towards competitors can say a lot about a company. Posted by dadeisvenm To discuss this topic, speak your mind here on the Reaper PC/PDA Forum: Click Here

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer confirms Zune on Windows Mobile

http://www.intomobile.com/2008/10/02/mic....ows-mobile.html

While this isn’t the Zune phone that many have speculated is in the works in Microsoft’s R&D labs, it’s the next best thing. The media-playing (and presumably sharing) capabilities of the Zune music player have been confirmed to be coming to the Windows Mobile platform. Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer confirmed that the Zune software that powers the Zune media player “will also be ported to and be more important not just with the hardware but on the PC, on Windows Mobile devices, etc.” We can’t see how Ballmer could be any more clear about the Zune software hitting the Windows Mobile OS - presumably with Windows Mobile 7 in 2009 - to bring all that digital media-player functionality that Zune-fans have been calling for in a mobile phone. Ballmer’s vision for Microsoft has the company bringing the functionality of its Zune media player to Windows Mobile smartphones around the world. Rather than concentrate on manufacturing smartphones to chase Apple’s iPhone for market share, Zune on Windows Mobile essentially allows Microsoft to build up with mobile brand with more feature-appeal.
