Nokia-Microsoft Tie Up.

Surely you've already digested the fact that Microsoft is now basically married to Nokia, and they have already planned a new line of products under their belt to recapture the smartphone market.  With Symbian OS burried, and the birth of Windows 7 phones under Nokia's well known phone, I remain skeptical that this new 'marriage' will work at all, especially since I personally consider Nokia not one of the top mobile brands anymore.

Anyway, what makes me wonder is why most people hate the bits of Microsoft.  In this 'marriage', the main displeasure is about Microsoft, and not Nokia... but what's wrong with Microsoft?

Is this a case of human jealousy? You tell me...

Nokia Wants to Sue Apple

Nokia said that it is looking into suing Apple over the iPhone. According to a report by BBC News, Nokia claimed that it had not been compensated for its technology which is used by Apple in the production of it's iPhone. The report also claims that Nokia is accusing Apple of trying to get a 'free ride on Nokia's innovation'.

The issue has cropped up because Apple is said to be using innovations which Nokia has developed through an agreements with about 40 firms. The agreement therefore allows these 40 firms which include most mobile phone handset makers to use the firm's technology, but Apple is not one of the 40 firms.

Apple was unable to be reached for comment.
