Nokia Rebounds From Lawsuit Ruling in Apple’s Favor With…Another Lawsuit

After the judge ruled in Apple’s favor last Friday, you’d think Nokia would just cross fingers for the final verdict in August, and be done with it. Unfortunately not, as they’ve filed yet another complaint with the US Trade Panel, claiming Apple is infringing on another seven of their patents—bringing Apple’s supposed patent infringements to…

Nokia’s Iconic Phone Typeface Sent to the Grave

There’s a good chance you owned a Nokia phone at some point in your past—but even if not, the Nokia Sans typeface has become synonymous with the ubiquitous brand. Not anymore. Hoping to distance itself from itself, Nokia’s got a brand new bag—Nokia Pure, which looks sort of like the old Sans injected with Helvetica…

Apple May’ve Won the Legal Battle Against Nokia, But is Yet to Win the War

The legal fight between Nokia and Apple that began at the end of 2009 has almost been wrapped up, with the judge ruling on Apple’s side. That means Apple most likely didn’t violate five of Nokia’s patents with the iPhone; iPods; iMac; Mac Mini, Mac Pro, MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, as Nokia suggested.…

The Popularity of Every Smartphone OS, Visualized

It’s easy to throw numbers around about the relatively popularity here in the US of Android, iOS, BlackBerry, and so on.

Intel Would’ve Sided With Google Instead of Microsoft, Had it Been in Nokia’s Shoes

It’s been hard not to feel sorry for Intel after Nokia sold out to Microsoft last week, ditching its MeeGo OS collaboration with Intel for Windows Phone 7. Intel finally went public with its hurt, with CEO Paul Otellini claiming Nokia made the wrong decision. Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he. https://gizmodo.com/nokia-and-microsoft-are-officially-new-bffs-5757649 He told…

Rogue Nokia Shareholders End Their Revolt After 36 Hours

Those “nine young Nokia shareholders” (who were also former/current employees) called off their revolt in just a day-and-a-half. The problem? Other investors wanted no part of their mutiny. And, the Symbian developers are going to leave by May 3 anyway, leaving nobody to actually carry out Plan B’s Symbian development scenario. [NextWeb] Update: Looks like…

No Nokia Windows Phones Until Late 2011 At the Earliest

Nokia’s Stephen Elop (nee Microsoft’s Stephen Elop) has been very careful not to say “Windows Phone 7″, and just “Windows Phone” when he’s talking about the deal between the two companies to manufacture smartphones on the platform. Why? Because Microsoft is going to call their next major update, code-named Mango, something that’s not Windows Phone…

Nokia’s CEO Owns 174,000 Shares of Microsoft… But None of Nokia (Updated)

When Nokia’s newish CEO Stephen Elop came over from Microsoft a few months ago, he brought with him more than fresh ideas about how Nokia is a burning platform. He also brought 200,000 shares of his old company for a ride—the vast majority of which he still owns. Why is that significant? Because Nokia and…
