[android-developers] Re: Nokia inviting Developers to become an Ovi store publisher.
The Nokia platforms running Qt are probably generally friendlier to the programmer than Android, and market penetration of the Nokia phones in Europe is quite high. Plus problems with piracy are much less. The main downsides are the crummy pressure-sensitive touch screens and the short battery life. That said, this is a really clumsy spamming effort, and I'm a little surprised that Nokia is (apparently) doing it. (Unless this is the first work of that new marketing manager they hired off of Microsoft.)

OK, checked that domain name, and it appears to be hosted out of Houston TX. Not at all what I'd expect for a Nokia site. So odds are it's a phishing site. Odd that so much work went into the site -- hard to see what they expect to gain.

The (preliminary) word that folks at Nokia are giving me is that the site is legit, though the posts are suspicious, at least. They're trying to figure out whether it's a true bad actor or just someone in marketing run amok.

I guess he wanted to avoid such pithy language while still head of the division;) Clearly, he does not trust Google. What is less clear is why. My guess is that he still thinks Nokia should have a stranglehold on the mobile phone software OS, though they have not even been close for some years now.
