Microsoft and Nokia have formed an alliance in a bid to offer stiffer competition against smart phone rival, Research in Motion Ltd’s, BlackBerry, the market leader currently dominating the mobile telecommunications business.
The alliance will also aim to unsettle Google who have recently expanded into offering free online software, that is seriously aimed at damaging the Microsoft dominance in that area. And of course there is also Apple, who’s iPhone is ever growing in popularity.
Obviously irked by Blackberry’s dominance in the market, Nokia Vice President Robert Andersson told Reuters:
“This is giving some of our competitors – lets spell it out – R-I-M a run for their money. I don’t think BlackBerry has seen the kind of competition we can provide them now.”
Research in Motion’s BlackBerry created the market for mobile e-mail, and its dominant position in the corporate sector, especially in North America, has protected it from Nokia’s attempts to crack the market in recent years.
Technology moves on at a pace, in the computer world it is now commonplace amongst businesses to save and access files via Cloud Computing Services, making loss of data a thing of the past.
