It appears that this UK Reuters article has gotten the internet all stirred up this morning. In it, the author suggests that Nokia's having a tough go at it with European operators. Specifically, operators speculate that Nokia's phones would sell better if they had Android on them.
Ouch! Stephen Elop's not going to take that lying down.
That article pairs with yesterday's announcement that Moody's downgraded Nokia to just above junk status, following Elop's pre-earnings assessment of a bleak quarter. Some people think that Nokia should stick with Windows Phone. But Gizmodo unleashed an indictment of Microsoft's execution.
And so you thought DRM was over? Not a chance. It turns out, this ZD Net UK reporter ran into a brick wall, trying to have more than 5 devices active on her account so that she could review them during the same period. The reason why she couldn't, is that Microsoft limits the number of activated devices on an account, as a means for DRM on Zune's digital content. It's DRM 2.0.
Finally, here's a hint: the Samsung Galaxy S-III unveiling in just over two weeks in the UK is probably going to be the most-watched unveiling, outside of the next generation iDevice.
That pretty much sums up the woes facing Nokia and Microsoft.
