[Mnandi]

Baada ya kushindwa katika game kwa muda mrefu, hatimaye kampuni ya simu za Nokia imedhamiria kuamisha mzigo kwa Microsoft kwa kiasi cha Dola Billion 7.17 (11.8 Trillion TSH)..

Microsoft to Buy Nokia's Device Business in Deal Worth $7.17 Billion

Correction: An early version of this story incorrectly stated the U.S. dollar amount that Microsoft is spending to acquire a license to Nokia's device-related patents. That amount is $2.18 billion. Also, Microsoft is spending 3.79 billion euros to acquire Nokia's device business.
Microsoft announced late Monday that it is buying the majority of Nokia's cellphone unit for 3.79 billion euros ($5 billion), and spending another 1.65 billion euros ($2.18 billion) to license Nokia's patent portfolio, for a total of 5.44 billion euros ($7.17 billion).

Once the deal is done, a number of Nokia executives will join Microsoft, including Stephen Elop, a former Microsoft executive who is seen as among the top contenders to replace CEO Steve Ballmer. Also set to join Microsoft are Jo Harlow, Juha Putkiranta, Timo Toikkanen and Chris Weber.
For now, Elop is stepping aside as Nokia CEO to become executive VP of devices and services. Nokia Chairman Risto Siilasmaa will serve as interim CEO.
"For Nokia, this is an important moment of reinvention, and from a position of financial strength, we can build our next chapter," said Siilasmaa "After a thorough assessment of how to maximize shareholder value, including consideration of a variety of alternatives, we believe this transaction is the best path forward for Nokia and its shareholders."
The move is a clear sign that Microsoft believes it can and must succeed in the phone business, and that it cannot afford to leave the success in the hands of a partner – even one like Nokia, that had bet its future on Microsoft's phone software.
Nokia agreed in February 2011 to make Windows Phone its primary play in smartphones, and their mobile fortunes have already been closely tied. So far, the combination has managed to pass BlackBerry, but remains a distant No. 3 platform to Google's Android and Apple's iOS.
"Bringing these great teams together will accelerate Microsoft's share and profits in phones, and strengthen the overall opportunities for both Microsoft and our partners across our entire family of devices and services," Ballmer said in a statement. "In addition to their innovation and strength in phones at all price points, Nokia brings proven capability and talent in critical areas such as hardware design and engineering, supply chain and manufacturing management, and hardware sales, marketing and distribution."
Microsoft will dip into its large overseas cash holdings to finance the deal. At the close of the deal, roughly 32,000 employees are expected to transfer to Microsoft, including 4,700 in Finland. Nokia has about 56,000 employees not expected to transfer to Microsoft, as of the end of the second quarter.
Nokia is also selling its non-Windows Phone device business, including its basic phones and its Asha line (which are advanced feature phones or entry-level smartphones, depending on one's perspective).
As for Nokia, while it is selling its most well-known business to Microsoft, the company will focus on its businesses making cellular networking equipment, its Here location-based services, and other "advanced technologies."
The remaining businesses account for about half of the company's 2012 sales.
As part of the deal, Nokia will grant Microsoft a 10-year non-exclusive license to its patents. Microsoft will license Nokia reciprocal rights to its location-based patents. Microsoft will have the option to extend the patent deal in perpetuity.
Microsoft will also license Nokia's Here platform, and will become one of that unit's biggest customers, paying a separate license agreement.
Microsoft has also "agreed to make immediately available to Nokia EUR 1.5 billion of financing" in three separate convertible bond deals. Nokia has the option whether to draw down some or all of the bonds. If the deal closes, any of the exercised bonds will be redeemed from the deal proceeds.
Nokia plans to hold an "Extraordinary General Meeting" of shareholders on Nov. 19. The companies said they expect the deal, which is subject to approval of Nokia shareholders and regulatory approval, to close in the first quarter of 2014.

ni kwa msisitizo tu kwamba makala iliyopita walikosea kiasi cha dola za kimarekani ambazo microsoft ilitenga kupata licence ya patent rights za Nokia. Wanakumbusha hapo mwanzo na mwisho kuwa kiasi sahihi ni $2.18 Billion.

 

[peri]

hii itakuwa hatua nzuri ya microsoft kujihakikishia anaendelea kutawala soko la it duniani kwa miaka mingi ijayo. Google alikuwa tishio kubwa sana kwa microsoft but kama hili dili litatiki, google wana chalenge kubwa kukabiliana na microsoft na kujihakikishie mafanikio waloyapata kwa muda mfupi hayapotei.

Hapa MS wanataka kuongeza nguvu ya WP but kama hawatabadili zile changes walifanya kwenye API yao then watabaki nyuma kwa amount za apps. Sidhani toolkit kama QT na wxWidgets zinasupport WP API

QT anatoa Android port na wxAndroid ipo ktk discussion. Ubuntu touch aja na QML/QT-C++ na apps zitakuwa nyingi tu.
So MS akiacha ubabe wake atasogea.

BTW Nokia 2016 atakuja na Ubuntu touch kama primary OS?

kaka ujue nimefkiria sana mwanzo niliona uchungu nokia kufanya hivo kwa mcrsft ila nimeangalia kwa makini naona kama nokia kaona hamna mafanikio kwenye wp. kama hio qt na qml zote ni za nokia lakini cha ajabu hazipo kwenye wp.

nafkiri nokia anakusanya hela na atatoka na os yake mwishoni mwa 2015 na 2016 atoe device mpya,

sidhani kama nokia atashirikiana na ubuntu ila nokia anaipenda linux sana kitu kitachokuja i bet kitakua kwenye linux.

mwaka jana mwishoni nokia alikua anaajiri expert wengi wa linux watu wakadhani anaenda android ila ikaonekana sio wengine wakasema anatengeneza apps za android hadi leo hawajulikani walikua ni wa nini.

anyway ngoja tusubiri tuone

kwa situation ya sasa sahau. sasa hivi engine ya nokia ni here brand mambo ya ramani, nokia drive, city lens, traffic . na vitu hivi direct vinashindana na google, nokia hawezi ruhusiwa kueka vitu vyake hivi kwenye android

ndo mana kuna kesi nokia na wenzake wanamshtaki google atoe apps zake kwenye android ili competitor nao waeke zao.

google akishindwa hio kesi basi kutakua na hope ya device ya nokia ya android.

ila firefox nae usimueke pembeni nokia kainvest pale maana hii os inatumia ecosystem ya here

chief-mkwawa mi nimefurahi tu ulivosema "ukisikia mtu yupo heart broken ndio leo". kaka kwani hii taarifa sio faraja kwa Nokia kweli?

sio faraja kwa nokia sababu hizi ni kampuni 2 tofauti. mtu kupenda kampuni na kua loyal kwa kampuni inasababishwa na mambo mengi
1. nokia ndio kampuni ya kijani kuliko zote interms ya mazingira na vitu vingi kila mwaka tuzo zote wanabeba wao

2. nokia ni kampuni yenye element za kisocialist kwenye nchi ya finland. inajali wafanyakazi wote watu wana raha sana pale. ni kitu cha kawaida kiwanda cha samsung au foxconn kwa apple kuskia watu wamefanya suicide ila kwa nokia mambo haya hamna

ukija quality ya simu, life style, network zetu, blog zetu, vitu vingi kaka.

mikononi mwa microsoft tegemea ukapitalist, ustegemee simu ya bei rahisi, ustegemee simu ambayo ukiidondosha unaokota betry unarudisha inafanya kazi. muda utatuambia mkuu utaona changes.


niliposema kuhusu feature phone ni kwamba mkataba unasema nokia na microsoft hawatacompete hadi december 31 2015 ina maana nokia hatoi smartphone wala simu kama asha. area ambayo microsoft hacompete na nokia ni visimu vidogo kama tochi.

**mkataba kama ukoloni**

leo ni siku mbaya sana kwa wapenzi wa gadgets hiki kitendo cha ms kununua na kuua nokia ni cha kulaaniwa,mwishoni mwa mwaka jana nilitabiri kuwa steph elop atapigwa chini kama ceo of nokia na nilitegemea nokia itaingia kwenye platform ya android na uki google utaona ni kweli board of directors ilikuwa na mpango wa ku dump windows na kuhamia os nyingine,ms kuona ndoto yao ya ku dominate kwenye mobiles inakwisha imeamua kuinunua department yote ya smartphones, ma analyst wanaseme nokia haitarudi tena kwenye smartphones kwa sababu ms imechukua team nzima ya engineers na designers pamoja na labs zake, hivyo itakuwa vigumu kuanza upya,huyu elop alikuwa kama cancer tumor pale nokia,alkwenda kuihujumu nokia na hata ms wanajua hivyo ndiyo sababu wamempa kazi nyingine.wataalam wanasema njia iliyobaki kwa nokia kurudi kwenye ulingo ni kununua kampuni kama blackberry,htc etc na ku join android os. matumaini yetu ya mwisho ni kwa shareholders kukataa hii deal mwezi nov 13
