I've been thinking about that as well, but came to the unfortunate conclusion that Elop will not license PureView. No way, no how. In fact, he pretty much said so, when he fired 10k employees and the same day announced the purchase of Scalado. Nope, he's gonna keep all that fabulous imaging PureView tech all to himself: Nokia says they have no future plans to license Scalado technology to other OEMs \| MobileSyrup.com

One more thing to add about PureView, from my very personal, never humble perspective... I thought long and hard before I plopped down a huge amount of my hard earned money for the Nokia 808. I thought about waiting instead, and buying once PureView gets incorporated into a flagship Nokia W8 phone (presently rumored to be a Lumia 910). I played with the Lumia 900. I played with the Nokia N8. To be perfectly honest with you, the reason I decided not to wait a minute is simple: I prefer the Symbian interface to the Windows Phone one. Everything in me recoils in aesthetic, visual horror, when I have to deal with WP. Symbian, on the other hand, feels like some old forgotten friend I vaguely remember, somehow. Easy breezy. Ergo, when the Nokia W8 with PureView toy comes out, I will not be one to get it, even if they improve PureView between now and then, which they probably will.

How can Elop be so stupid ? LOL!!! Took MS management SIXTEEN YEARS to extinguish this flaming disaster... hosted.ap.org They just don't do "timely" decision making... The culture always assumes that there's a bottomless pit of shareholders money backing any stupid decision made, and that no one will care if you just burn it... I particularly enjoyed the quote: " Microsoft has leaned on its lucrative franchise selling personal computer software to pay for massive Internet investments that have rarely paid off, much to the frustration of its shareholders " I'm not seeing that they're doing any better investing in things other than the Internet... Given the proofs apparent in every other venture they've taken on, it's a real mystery that they've not encountered any more meaningful competition in the OS business... MSFT is a stupid "cash cow"... and it behaves exactly like the prototypical textbook "mature business"... assuming there will never be a change in the markets that might makes their failures count.
