Nokia and Microsoft

Apparently, Nokia and Microsoft are now sleeping together, or at the least they are exchanging vital bodily fluids like compression algorithims, hardware reference guidelines, and the like.

As the news points out, this new deal is one big "boost to Microsoft, which until now has had little success penetrating the mobile handset market." In fact, MS's market share has remained below one percent for years in the mobile phone market.

Obviously, MS was willing to do everything but sacrifice to Satan to get in bed with Nokia. After all, those Scandinavians own one-third of the 684 million-units-a-year handset market.

One just has to wonder what Nokia is really going to gain, or lose from this deal?
