Nokia considering entering laptop industry | www.reuters.com
Chewing before swallowing. It may be an elephant this time. When Nokia can not swallow the current hot smart phone soup and looking over other table's dish for internet content from PC, it could end up with no meal in either table. Late 90, Intel announced so many times wanting to enter communication market. What is Intel's position in the handset market today? Bottom line is that business models are fundamentally different between PC and handset market. PC is driven by performance and handset is driven by delivery. It is impossible for one of them to transform from one to another. Nokia may spell "P" into profit and "C" into cheap. But the point is that Nokia has no experience in PC business. Take away: Do not read too much. Giants like Intel or Nokia, talk nonsense sometime. The information released, while reading between the line, showing that Nokia is in denial mode of failing smart phone market and does not know what to do about it.

Text-Messaging Rates Come Under Scrutiny | online.wsj.com
The argument that SMS pricing is not linked to cost has always been true. There will come a point where SMS pricing is more elastic (either because the price becomes too high or there are messaging alternatives), but we have not reached that point yet.
