01.12.09 at 22:48Funny question: it\'s a bit like \"what do you think about the recent backing of Activision for the PS3\" - of course EA mobile backs an emerging major mobile OS. You only ask the question because Gameloft alledgedly cut back on Android. Well, EA and Gameloft are publicly quoted companies, forced to show positive results... so they naturally concentrate their investment on areas that promise the best RoI. And guess what: that\'s currently not Android. For anything else: consider the Gameloft statement a PR-accident.

It does make sense to have NOKIA present in the netbook space (.....potentially better than a no-frills netbook with a Huawei USB-Stick attached for connectivity), but in this space, they enter as a me-too candidate: something the Fins are neither good at nor should take pride becoming good at.
