More apps + their focus on just producing great hardware = more happy users. So I say, Nokia should go for Android (of course, they stubbornly won't).

In the long run, it just seems like a lot of R&D and marketing dollars for what is and will continue to be a limited market space (=there are only so many developers and we only need so many apps on a mobile platform).
