LKY predicted that Nokia...

[ahkrong]

How come he never talk about Creative?



too paiseh?

sinkie pawn sinkie spirit.

 

[Jarlaxle]

on hindsight, nokia's current plight can be avoided if they had embraced multiple operating systems (e.g. android like other OEMs samsung / HTC which had devices running both OSes) and not limit themselves to only windows mobile which had a small market penetration.

well of course with a M$ trojan horse CEO their fate is sealed anyway.

u r another on hindsight lah.
why cant they follow the apple's path?
make their own OS and hardware.

 

[fox1]

When was the interview conducted?

From here wor.

 

[fat_boyz]

their patents not enough........

 

[shinkuaku]

nokia failing to embrace android sealed its death.

same for blackberry.

can i say i foretold berry demise... and i am satki?

it is common sense.

At that time i think android not up yet. Anyway bb tried android also, its a pretty good system, but no takers, all moved to the other companies liao.

Nokia is making a mobile comeback: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/10/us-nokia-mobile-consumer-idUSKCN0QF0FK20150810

Thought its the end of Nokia after they are sold to Microsoft years ago

 

[arm4da]

Satki!

so what....he is dead..and his son is pretty useless compared to him

 

[Igene]

Ah gong very satki sia...

 

[mynickname]

well, I think all he did was raise a question. he never committed an opinion. he also claimed graduates should not mate with people from lower education... until karma strike him....

 

[Arsene_Wenger]

Satki!

Mai tok cock la. Such comments are like 50 50 chances. If got it right, supporters glorified it. If got it wrong, bury it.

How many other predictions he have made and become otherwise

of course i'm on highsight. i started my post with that didn't i?

as for their own OS, well they had symbian which was also used by other OEMs (sony ericsson, samsung, motorola etc) years ago, until the open handset alliance and android gained momentum and came into the picture. symbian was playing the catch up game to modern platforms and more or less died when its owner nokia decided to jump ship to window mobile.

the thing about competition from korea (chaebols) was spot on though.

At that time when they embraced Windows OS, they were already way too late to the party and even Android may not save them

He certainly didn't foresee the fall of Imperial Japan judging by his actions. That would've been more remarkable in my book.

fox1, predict if it will rain tomorrow or not.
If you get it right, we will also say u satki

 

[muddle]

Did he foresee his bread being sold by breadtalk?

 

[fox1]

This one is interesting.
The first few minutes regarding neighbouring countries is explosive.

we won't know what they will become if they joined the android party since it didn't happen but i'm quite positive that they will be in a better state than now considering their hardware prowess back then.

quite a handful of OEMs especially those young TW coys were late to the party as well but they're still doing ok AFAIK.

It's true.

LKY is a bright fellow who understood what is national strength, what is human capital.

Nokia is the past.

Nokia can't be the Nokia anymore. It's been overshadowed by the Koreans, Japanese, and American companies.

It's the same like launching rockets into space and walking on the moon.

LKY also said only certain big countries can launch rockets into space.

So there won't be Nokia anymore, they are finished, because why would Nokia be able to compete against the collective strength of Korean, Japanese, or American companies ? What would be the reason ?

Did Finland launch a rocket and walk in space ? No, right ?

It's the same reason why Creative Tech sort of lost its steam. Creative cannot compete with Apple or the others. They are now only supplying some small accessories parts for Apple.
