I might use my ancient version of Mac Microsoft Office to communicate with people who still refuse 
to use blogs, wikis and web apps such as Google Docs but I, like Stowe, won't be storing anything in a Microsoft cloud.

The likelihood is that Microsoft will be/is being blindsided by a wave of tiny startups that won't be building anything on the Microsoft cloud. Microsoft may think they will dominate the cloud based on the attractiveness of their own software sitting there.

Russ Beattie agrees with me that Nokia should adopt an open source core.

Point 4 is something I’ve written about before: Symbian had its chance to reach critical mass, and didn’t. It may continue to gain developers and new phones, but they’ve hit the high water mark in terms of rate of adoption and units… From this point on, Symbian is going to be doing that slow fade into technological obscurity. Let me put it like this: Symbian is not a platform that any true innovators would ever base their ideas on going forward, and without innovation an OS is dead. Once Nokia moves on to something else, it’ll quickly go away forever. And what would Nokia move to? Linux of course - as shown by their two outstanding web tablets the 770 and N800. The quicker Nokia starts moving that OS to their top-tier mobile phones, the better, IMHO.

One sentence: “Nokia buy ShoZu”
Fix its memory issues, make it work with absolutely everything (it already works with many many sites) and then make it part of S60
</armchair ceo>
This Twango acquisition makes no sense to me; buy a service nobody uses!?! A ShoZu acquisition makes much more sense; it's a great albeit flawed app (S60 memory issues) that works with all the cool services like flickr, blip.tv, any MetaWeblogAPI enabled blog, etc, etc.

If Nokia’s tag line is Connecting People, why are they going out of their way to develop new stand-alone services, rather than working with what’s already present and being used by communities globally. They could really just focus enabling the experience from Mobile to web and back. From a user perspective, I would much rather have an application or service that could talk with everything else I use to make it simple for content to go back and forth. This would make it easy for me and easy for my friends to stay in touch. We already know Facebook is working on the connection with the desktop and Jaiku, Facebook and even Plaxo offer ways to have content from other syndicate-able sources appear in your profile, but no one has come up with way to link with your mobile.

Getty Images recently launched a new podcast that looks interesting. Tara (of Edelman for Getty Images) does a better job explaining the project, so here’s a section of her email to me.
Jonathan Klein, co-founder and CEO of Getty Images, will interview leading global photographers, giving the audience insight into life behind the lens at the center of intense conflict zones, professional sport events and conceptual creative shoots.
The debut podcast features Getty photographer Spencer Platt (top right), who recently received the top honor at the 2007 World Press Photo Awards in Amsterdam for his image of a group of young Lebanese driving through a South Beirut neighborhood devastated by Israeli attacks (bottom right). Platt will discuss the public reaction this image has stirred, and will also speak about his coverage of 9/11 and the war in Iraq.
You can access the podcast by visiting http://blogs.gettyimages.com/news/ or iTunes. We encourage you to join the conversation and share your comments online!
