Stephen's five reasons are:
- Nokia needs a stronger desktop presence
- Nokia could dominate in the mobile location-based area
- Nokia needs to grow in the U.S. (Amen brother!)
- Nokia needs to grow its online advertising
- Nokia cannot afford to let Microsoft or Google gain more online market share
I think his reasoning makes a lot of sense and is highly dependent on figuring out what Nokia's future plans really are with their mobile services. Ovi is Nokia's planned portal for their mobile services (social networking, location-based services, mapping, music, gaming, and more) and could just as easily be Ovi, powered by Nokia-Yahoo. Would you like to see Nokia aquire Yahoo?
