in Nokia: The dominant global computing monopoly by 2011. Discuss. on Mobile Industry Review
there's nothing illegal about a monopoly. What's illegal is to abuse a monopoly. Nokia will never be a monopoly, even if they own 50 or 60% of the market, there will always be other mobile computing providers.

Samantha I may be wrong, but isn't a Monopoly having a dominance in the market share. If Nokia were to have 60% of the market, then they would be dominant; therefore, wouldn't that make them a monopoly?

Yes there may other brands, and providers, but if a company has such a large share over a market, say as Microsoft does with the computing industry; they then have this power that makes it harder for competition. That then limits choice, and then it's like a consumer dictatorship.

Well, that's my understanding of it anyways.

in Sony Xperia — coming soon to 3 on Mobile Industry Review
The XPeria X1 looks so ugly! and it uses the god-forsaken awful Windows Mobile. How could anyone be excited by this piece of turd is beyond comprehension... Sony Ericsson's media interface is just like pig-lipstick on a primitive ugly system.
