I think you're both overlooking history. In the past there was a British computer company called Acorn. They made the BBC Micro in the 80's. They also started Acorn Risc Machines. They spun it off as a separate company as they realised the company would be more profitable if it were a separate entity. They also changed the name to Advanced Risc Machines. That company today is ARM, is profitable and is a multi-billion dollar company while Acorn is no more. The reason they changed the name is that they knew that more companies would buy their software designs if it weren't tied to a hardware company. So while the phone hardware side *may* die - I hope it doesn't - I see a strong future for the software side. As for targeting the BRICS countries, that seems a sensible choice. Why battle against Android in their own backyard? Americans seem keener on something that was invented there. _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org
