Will Nokia’s S60 widgets be secure?

Thank you for linking me to this article Deckard.

Andrew Orlowski of The Register basically slams Nokia for 3 straight pages. First about the insecurity of widgets then the declining quality of Nokia products and finally he asks a rhetorical question concerning which direction Nokia is heading in.

The only rebuttal I have is numbers don’t lie. Nokia is growing quarter after quarter, year after year.

Then again, so is Sony Ericsson.

Names weren’t mentioned, people obviously want to protect their jobs, but is Nokia really that much of a mess internally?

I’m very curious to know.

    Naah. I think it the article was too much of sensationalist “yellow journalism” and unnecessary attacks.

    I think Andrew himself got a little sidetracked..I don’t think the S60 Widget integration is the main thing here and the cornerstone of Nokia’s strategy. Big news is that, bit by bit, the S60 platform itself becomes open to standards used elsewhere as well.

    That is a good direction.

    Well I contacted Andrew. Articles like this don’t easily get ignored.
