If the current stylistic distinctions between open-source and commercial software persist, an open-software revolution could lead to yet another divide between haves and have-nots: those with the skills and connections to make use of free software, and those who must pay high prices for increasingly dated commercial offerings.
Nokia, Microsoft announce mobile "three-way horse race"
In a joint statement, Microsoft and Nokia announced that the two companies' partnership in smart phones means the mobile space just became a "three-way horse race".
They're right: iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry.
(Where are Nokia/Microsoft in the race? See the photo.)
For the interested, a short version of the announcement is below. (Full press announcement video)
PS: Like the background music to the announcement?
It's bundled with, and licensed for use only with, a well-known video editing package: iMovie on the Mac.
Interesting times!
