Maybe… like I mentioned, Nokia’s S60 application stack was a mess. The underlying phone software and platform might have been there, but the 3rd party ecosystem wasn’t. This was a huge part of the success of the iPhone, that 3rd party developers had a stable platform to develop for, and a steady financial partner (Apple) paying them.
No offense against Nokia but I really don’t think the company had the mentality to offer that.
Lobsters went down a VC financing rabbit hole the other day (thanks to me and @dgerard) and a user horked up this absolutely bonkers defense of OpenAI losing a galactic sum of money:
