Why ?
because nokia make dozens of phones and are not stopping ALL of them. when a company stops its entire development of new products in a product line... in fact its ONLY product that is publically known (development meaning the next improved version) it does make new. it matters. it is the same as is nokia stopped making ALL phones and decided to start making shoes instead. that'd make news!. :) these things create a life of their own - if they are correct or not. the media interprets it in the way to make it as sensational as possible. sensation sells to readers. readers mean ads ... and ads are revenue. if half the worlds news was reported realistically in proportion.. you would have a pretty boring media. :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [email protected] _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
