Nokia EVP Anssi Vanjoki: switching to Android is like peeing in your pants for warmth
His point was that moving to Android (or peeing yourself) is a short-term solution that will only lead to problems in the future. A cute little analogy, indeed, but one that surely represents — at least in a small way — ol’ Anssi’s view on Google’s growing OS.
Some analysts agree with him, too. The belief is that if all the manufacturers move to Android, there will be a loss of brand recognition, leading to “permanently low profitability”.
Sure, but unless Nokia (and Meego) can offer a consumer experience in-line with Android and iOS (and that includes casual gaming), then I think even the Finnish kid with pee on his pants will look to one of those two for his smartphone fix.
