\"Nokia<\/a>Image via Wikipedia<\/a><\/span><\/span>What is best to be Nokia<\/a> or Apple? When you look at Apple\u00b4s financials<\/a> and compare them to Nokia financials<\/a> you clearly see that Nokia is doing much better than Apple except on one item: Market cap. This is the same with Microsoft<\/a> and Google except that Microsoft\u00b4s market cap<\/a> is still higher than Google\u00b4s<\/a>. But the concept is the same. Investors give the Silicon Valley companies a much higher P\/E. They believe that Apple and Google are on the rise, and Microsoft and Nokia on the decline. Looking at this and knowing about all the common ties including common board members that exist between Google and Apple I wonder why Nokia and Microsoft don\u00b4t have closer collaborations, especially now that Apple has gone after Nokia\u00b4s lunch, high end phones. But Nokia still sells in only one week as many phones as the iPhone has ever sold. Investors lose track of this. And Nokia\u00b4s CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo<\/a> seems to have a clear view of who his competitors are<\/a>.<\/p>\n
