They would have died very quickly. Nobody can compete with Samsung in that space. They decided to be brave and different... they know they can make strides in the enterprise sector with this. Android is avoided by most employers that have a serious view on security and safety. Blackberry is dying in the enterprise sector and Apple is struggling to completely convince people. Nokia have a chance here and they will live or die by it. Judging by what a Vodafone guy was telling me yesterday, it might just be starting to pay off. |
About the only way I see Microsoft making any gains in market share for the phone and tablet market. Most consumers are happy with Android or iOS. I see the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet appealing to business clients over average consumers mainly due to the price. I view Microsoft kind of like I view Dell. Most people really don't give a shit about Dell anymore (was huge late 90s and early 2000s for consumers). Dell is still around but they are more focused on business clients than trying to sell computers, tablets to the average consumer. Hell, I haven't seen a Dell commercial in awhile (I don't watch that much regular TV) but they used to be on all the time back in the day. So Microsoft and Nokia main chance on getting any decent market share would be for business because I don't see too many average consumers going crazy for Windows phones or tablets.
