Yes, this the same company that has sold hundreds of millions of devices over a decade and never came even close to the power and functionally of an iPhone. Even after it was introduced to the possibility of such a device (a year and a half later), it still doesn't have multi-touch answer to it. > They have around 15 thousand people working in R&D. And what have they accomplished in the last decade? Let's start with the most obvious: have they even grasped the power of the web, until the iPhone amply demonstrated it? What have they done, in the last decade, in re-arranging the power structure between handset manufacturers and carriers? Nada. That takes careful integration of technology, systems design and business acumen, which apparently they lack. Hopefully, they'll ride on the coattails of the iPhone and make something semi-useful out of Ovi.
