It could be a good thing... Maybe force MS to get a partner with better designs!12-14-2012 11:35 PMLike 0 - Nokia isn't on the latest list. The companies on the latest list are: 10. Avon 9. MetroPCS 8. Oakland Raiders 7. Salon.com 6. Suzuki 5. Pacific Sunwear 4. Research In Motion 3. Current TV 2. Talbots 1. American Airlines

- Their lists are always ridiculous. Two of the brands they "predict" are going away have already announced they're going away (Metro is merging with T-Mo, Suzuki Motors is pulling out of the USA).
The other brands aren't going anywhere. If Avon fails, it will be acquired by a larger company and its brand will be continued. Salon has been predicted to fail since the early 2000s but always soldiers on. RIM probably will make it through 2013. American Airlines' brand will live on, even if it merges with a smaller US Airways.12-15-2012 03:39 PMLike 0 - Their lists are always ridiculous.

- Got your PadFone yet? How are its sales doing? I believe we are at PadFone II now.

- I predict 24/7 Wall St will go away. These websites are dime a dozen. What credibility do these people bring to the table?12-15-2012 04:33 PMLike 0

- Their cars weren't that good anyway. And they really don't have much on the motorcycle front that's interesting, unless you're into the bloated whale phallus that is the hayabusa, or another me too on a gsxr. Can't say I'm really surprised.12-16-2012 05:55 PMLike 0
- I liked the Kizashi... But they've not been serious about the US market for a while. "Predicting" their demise is not that impressive!12-16-2012 06:28 PMLike 0

- Well there we have it Nokia isn't even on the list.
Nokia is doing a great job right now and will even do a better job next year. I hope they make a Win8 RT tablet that is easily affordable for low-mid range markets and a flagship to compete with the Surface Pro.
Maybe MS will cut them a deal with licensing.12-16-2012 08:26 PMLike 0 - I dunno but rumor has it ASUS is already working on Padfone 3! Who knows if they will ever bring it here though. They said they were going to but I've recently read that they called it off. Somebody must be buying them if they keep refining/improving it.12-18-2012 06:27 AMLike 0

- If that was the case then why didn't they just go straight to hemroid? It's certainly more popular than WP. No I think the die has been cast and unless WP8 explodes Nokia will be a memory! I don't really care either way cause I don't like there current design and a fancy camera won't save them.12-21-2012 06:11 PMLike 0
- Guessing/hoping its a stock swingarm, non-turbo one, if so, fear not, I respect anyone that can throw a busa around in the twisties. My reference is mainly at the straight liners who are afraid of the curves.

Nokia also believes in the platform... so why not make hardware for it?12-21-2012 10:23 PMLike 0 - Exactly. Going android is no guarantee of success. Look at how dominant Samsung is right now. I think Nokia has the potential to have that kind of clout in the WP world, but in the android world they would be just another company struggling to compete with Samsung.12-21-2012 11:58 PMLike 0
- Nokia isn't going anywhere, at least not by 2013. The cutting of employees, leasing their headquarters, and to some degree, releasing fewer phones is them cutting the fat. They've been too big of a company for a few years now, and their phones haven't been selling in the post-iPhone and Android world as they have previously. We're finally seeing them turn things around with their current Lumias, many of which are matching or beating the competition in specs and value. We're also seeing a big push for Windows and Windows Phone 8 from Microsoft. Now, they need to iron out their production issues, and Microsoft needs to work out the bugs and continue adding features to Windows Phone 8.
The big question is RIM. I don't expect them to fail in 2013 either, but I don't see them having nearly the success as Nokia, especially in the consumer space. Blackberry 10 has a few nice features, but features alone don't sell, and I don't see RIM as a company having the legs that Microsoft does. And the mobile space definitely can't support four players, even three is debatable especially considering the fact that Metro, despite it's ease of development, requires a rethinking of app development.12-22-2012 12:54 AMLike 0
