The relevant phrase in business is

	"Kill Your Own Young"

The fact that Nokia would ship something like the 3300 (Series 40 with
128x128 pixels and a 64kb midlet limit on a 15mb phone) is a perfect
example of this ... as well as all the new Series 30 (96 x 64) pixel
phones they keep selling.

Also their JVM's tend to suck.  

Finally the "GPRS Gateway" crap prevents most users (in the USA) from
ever taking advantage of network apps.

Amazing.
