It is much more complex than this. Nokia invested heavily in the open source world but failed to catch on to the consumers.<p>The work that was done on Maemo was impressive and they tried to create libraries that were cross-factor; the same library that you would use on your PC to read and write openoffice files, you would use on your mobile phone as well.<p>You claim for example that Apple and Google have their own browsers. Guess what, the first thing Apple had to do when they started working on webkit, was to decouple it from Qt (you know, TrollTech&#x27;s and then Nokia&#x27;s framework). Of course khtml&#x2F;kjs weren&#x27;t developed by Nokia, but Nokia was closer to this and many other technologies from the start.<p>Even on Symbian there was software that took many years for Apple and Google to catch up with.
An example would be muvee, an automatic video creator using videos, images and mp3s on your phone, in 2005.
Another one, my brother&#x27;s 6600 at 2004 had pseudo augmented-reality games. They even had a fitness app (sport tracker) in 2004.
