Nokia Microsoft deal, a great idea!

Microsoft has huge brands for business people (Office), gamers (XBox) or normal people (Windows) and a load of marketing people and deal in Us and all over the planet. 

I think in a long run this can give Nokia a chance in the smartphone area because in the cheap dumb phone they are and will be kings for a long time.

Google CR-80 is the new Minitel?

Maybe you remember the Minitel, or not,  but i do and the new Google Cr-80 just remind me that. Off course its not as easy of a comparison and i imagine the guys in Big G are smarter than a bunch of French burocrats... and the Minitel was free and it was not running on an open internet but i still see lot of similarities between the two.
