All eyes are now on Nokia which has been losing market share badly to the iPhone and Android.
Nokia has dumped its chief executive, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, for Microsoft executive Stephen Elop but The Register suggests the new guy might not have the background and skills to revive the company. No visionary leader, he is much more about process. Barron'ssuggests it won't do much good because Nokia has already fallen too far behind Apple and Research in Motion, the company behind the Blackberry. Jared Newman at PC World says Nokia's biggest problem is shipping. It just hasn't yet worked out how to get its stuff on to the shelves in time.
Add to that the report from Gartner suggesting that Google's Android is, by 2014, set to overtake Nokia's Symbian to become the world's most popular smartphone operating system.
Is it any wonder Nokia's top executives are now leaving, getting off the sinking ship.
It all suggests that Nokia is on the way out. Or as Richi Jennings from Computerworld puts it, we're seeing Nokia's death march with no leadership, platforms that won't challenge iOS and Android and no devices that will challenge smart phones.
Unless Nokia comes up with a strategy that addresses any of that, the company will continue to sink into irrelevance.
