nokia_trolltech.gifDefinitely enjoyed reading this ARCchart article by Matt Lewis. In a nutshell he says that Trolltech was practically the only Linux vendor making money, they’ve been around forever and the purchase price of $153 million by Nokia is in line with what the company was worth over 2 years ago. How are other Linux vendors expected to react to this cold hard reality that frankly no one cares about them?

Thanks for the link Jouni Miettunen. Recommend read for people into mobile platforms.
