>>seem to be going through the same thing with mobile, but their corporate culture always allows for buying the littler guys who did get it.
This time the little guys are Apple and Google. ;-) And all they need do is emulate MS's historic behavior against vendors like IBM and Novell.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
