1. Android would be short term profits. Let's just take Chinese market. China has 70% Android. Now, I am coming to the market and building a new Android phone. It's awesome and everything but how do I stand apart from HTC, Samsung, Moto and low cost options like ZTE? Imagine a Lumia running Android. Would I be able to beat HTC and Moto and Samsung with that?
2. I guess we will start seeing the Nokia MS partnership success going forward when Nokia really has a chance of adding value to MS products.
I agree that Nokia took on the insane task of reviving themselves as well as MS. But if they can get some sort of adoption with WP7, they can continue to survive and add value to the ecosystem going forward with WP8. They have to continue on life support until their true strategy kicks in to place.
