Had a brief look through the article, and i don't think it says a single thing i havn't read numerous times in the last couple of weeks.
The mobile industry is very interesting at the moment. WP7 could be dead now, and thus Nokia are in the poo until WP8 comes out. HTC, Samsung, etc don't care, as WP7 doesn't keep them alive.
This could all be a ploy to buy Nokia dirt cheap, just in time for potential recovery when WP8 comes out.
With Blackberry falling over quickly, timing is key for Microsoft at the moment. Nokia have a couple of months of peace to come out well with WP8. Keep in Microsoft's pocket, and make sure they release the best WP8 devices.
Lets also not forget, Android has just detailed their new version, and they have some seriously nice hardware out there at the moment. And with the iPhone 5 due out soon, WP8 and its many OEM's need to come out with something exceptional.
The specs of the rumoured WP8 devices look pretty dull. The initial devices look very little different to WP7 devices, other than multi-core. Unless WP8 is as well optimised as WP7 was, WP8 is going to be still born against iOS & Android.
The Grim reaper is at Nokia's door right now. I completely agree with the writter of that article on that. To me WP8 looks like its the OS WP7 always wanted to be, and with Blackberry failing, i think Nokia and Microsoft together can come out strong, but they need to do it quickly, and do it right.
