Stuart, you are too correct with your analysis.
For me, the part of the “Nokia cloud” was the one that made the least amount of sense. I don’t see any single company being able to provide the amount of information and services that people are already consuming on their mobile handsets today. And Nokia is a bit far from providing a cloud service as it is.

Richard,

Thanks for the comment and great adds. I fully expect wearable long before 2015 (some of it is here already!). Kindle.. well it will be obsolete; perhaps it already is. Desktops? Really must we have desktops (surfaces)? Kidding! I find these type of scenarios and write about them because I personally like the fun and helping to create the challenges that we are likely to face when we really begin to look upstream. I also know that no one person can do that. It’s the wisdom of the crowds type factor. You need to broaden the group – some internal and external input… and really take some trips upstream and into other industries. Then find ways to present those challenges. The key I think is curiosity.

BTW… sorry about the snow in Beijing and get well soon!

Good analysis, Stuart.

Another problem is that they assume the world revolves around a single mobile phone-like device. Understandable (they’re Nokia after all) but the future world will be more diverse, not less diverse. Wearable computing, Kindle-like tablets, headsup displays, not to mention evolved versions of desktop PCs…
