It Is Official – Acer, Fujitsu and ZTE Will Make Tablets On Windows Mobile. Is Nokia Dead?

1

Tomorrow, Tekedia will publish an analysts take on the future of Nokia and the gamble of abandoning its operating system (OS) to sign up for Microsoft Windows. This could turn out be a very big strategic blunder by the new CEO.

 

It is already confirmed that Acer, Fujitsu and Zte will make tablets in Windows Mobile. The big question is? How can Nokia compete in this space with this low cost brands. Nokia might have prepared its grave in this alliance with Microsoft.  Without any right of exclusivity, the deal is not right. Windows Mobile will turn out to be like Android and many players will join. That way, the money that Nokia paid Microsoft might not have helped it that much.

 

OS is becoming a commodity and Windows is joining that wagon which Android started. But for Nokia, it is innovate now or become history. Yes, they will, but what of the cost? People in the developing world will surely choose a cheaper version than what Nokia will give. With three Asian giants in the game, that premium price may not be possible.

 

We will be giving you information on the new Mango from Microsoft. All that will be coming on Tekedia tomorrow.

 

South African Cell C Tops The Choice of Subscribers That Switch Networks

0

BusinessLive reports about a new study has revealed that Cell C,  South Africa’s third mobile provider, is the provider of choice for customers who choose to switch networks. In a study done by Innovation Agency titled 2010 Telco Innovation Study, 47% of subscribers chose Cell C in a pool of 14% respondents that switched telecom providers.

 

While respondents cited a variety of reasons for swapping networks, disappointing customer service topped the list. Women were also more likely to switch than men, according to Innovation Agency.

 

“As the newcomer, and soon after their Trevor Noah campaign, it was not surprising that the results showed that Cell C were the biggest gainers,” said Rory Moore, CEO of Innovation Agency.

 

Additional findings from a sample of 456 people revealed that Vodacom has the biggest appeal among individuals over 50 and MTN () was a favourite among people under the age of 30.

 

Vodacom was rated as the most innovative telecoms company in SA by quite a margin in the 2010 study.

 

“What was quite interesting was correlating the demographic breakdown of the respondents with their rating preference – people over the age of 50 were the biggest group to rate Vodacom the most innovative provider. MTN was rated second overall with their biggest fans falling in the under 30 age group,” said Moore.
