An update regarding yesterday post.
@evleaks again on Normandy twitting new possible UI screenshots with a description saying “Two ways to interact with Normandy”; such sentence seems related to the fact that Normandy UI has one interaction mode similar to the one that you can experience with Lumia and the other similar to the one you can have with Asha Fastlane.
Possible Nokia Normandy UI from @evleaks
What for sure is strange, remembering that such Nokia Normandy will be anyway a Microsoft product, is the twitter from the Mobile-Review.com editor-in-chief Analyst Eldar Murtazin typically well informed especially on Samsung and Nokia stuff that claims the possibility of money “support” from MS to relevant manufacturers, i.e.:
Samsung 1.2 Bln USD
Sony 0.5 Bln USD
Huawei 0.6 Bln USD
others 0.3 Bln USD
Eldar Murtazin’s tweets
If such rumors are correct, it could mean that MS will play on two tables at least, in one betting on an Android device with MS store, and in the other betting on WP high-end phones made not only by Nokia (… opss… Microsoft) but also by Samsung, Sony,…
Whatever you see the above story, what is real is that the future market will be dominated by Mobile, as highlighted by Gartner.
