They're backed by MS. They won't go bye-bye just yet.
My guess is Microsoft will buy them when they're worthless.

I'm tempted to call if the "Microsoft Kiss of Death!"
Anytime MS dreams of having a successful external device, they seem tempted to go out and buy something, or lure some company into a partnership--and all these efforts seemed doomed to failure.
Gross oversimplification, naturally, given the Xbox...

Nokia was in free fall before they decided to focus on Windows Phone. It was only their tight situation that made them look outside for an OS again, after all their backstabbing to bring Symbian in-house, and apparently it was fears from carriers that Android would be too dominating that was a big art of what made them go to MS.

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

They'll have a fight on their hands, plus they'll never be worthless while they hold all those patents. They could always revert to a troll business model in a pinch.

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

You're right, it is going to be a slow death. Like Palm.

Nokia was in free fall because of the introduction of the iPhone. This is the iPhone's fifth anniversary, and the iPhone introduction changed the shape of the world.
Before the iPhone, the world was flat; after the iPhone, the world was 3-dimensional.
And Nokia couldn't keep up--along with many others.
