To be fair, Nokia is somewhat stuck in mid 2000's. They haven't advanced much from then, but their vision is very advanced. They just need people at the top who can enable that vision.

It's probable that some of their top management are one of the issues preventing a full on change at Nokia.

I still remember back in 2000 I saw Nokia's future vision, which looks like what Meego is turning out to be. They had the idea, but lack of competition and lack of real need to push themselves in that direction slowed the meego future down a lot. It should have been done by 2006-2007 timeframe.

Moral of story is lack of competition breeds stagnation.]]>Jun 28th 2010 3:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/Demented all right. Since MeeGo is poised for their charge into premium categories while Symbian 3 is also bound for their lower-end portfolio, their featurephones will only get smarter and their smartphones wiser.]]>Jun 28th 2010 3:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/
"Moral of story is lack of competition breeds stagnation."

Yep, socialism doesn't work.]]>Jun 28th 2010 4:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/Jun 28th 2010 2:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/

The best they can do is sell their stuff for smartphones cheaper and direct to car manufacturers to try and retain popularity.]]>Jun 28th 2010 4:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/Jun 28th 2010 4:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/I guess that would require some of that journalism nonsense:]]>Jun 28th 2010 7:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/
I wouldn't say Garmins attempts have been very successful due to the horrendous delays and lack of real enthusiasm for their products but who knows maybe Tom Tom can do better. They certainly have brand recognition and plenty of fans i just wonder which OS would suit them best to build their own devices over.]]>Jun 28th 2010 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/Jun 28th 2010 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/psion-veteran-charles-davies-leaves-nokia-for-tomtom/Jun 28th 2010 9:32AM
