There is significant pressure on the teams and the whole company to ensure that we deliver a great Windows Phone product as quickly as possible "Because of the pace of software development and advances of Android, and Windows Phone for that matter, and Apple , we had a risk of falling further and further behind because development of our Symbian-based products was slipping," Elop said.
