This occurrence is of course inevitable seeing how software
companies are increasingly moving into the hardware market so as to have total
control on the hardware to uses its software, something
Apple did long time ago and paying off.
Google and Microsoft who just in recent times totally picked
up on the school of thought of Apple have seen that controlling both the hardware
that runs its software is the way to go now.
Well, Microsoft has totally demonstrated that school of thought
again by acquiring Nokia's handset division for $7.2 billion.
Also, Nokia would license some of its patents to Microsoft
to allow for freely usage of these technologies.
Nokia directors and shareholders had these to say in a
statement made by Risto Siilastmaa, chairman, Nokia board of directors.
"We believe this transaction is the best way forward
for Nokia and its shareholders"
What matters most to the consumer is how this acquisition
will benefit the consumer in terms of phone design and overall user experience.
