Well, ... the part about Apple wasn't too much of a stretch to assume even back then. Apple has always been leading in terms of industrial design and user interfaces, and always had many copycats tailing it. Microsoft’s situation isn't surprising, either. Lack of innovation, missmanagement, pride.

Nokia on the other hand is kinda surprising, because they f’cked up worse than anyone would have predicted. Their reaction to Apple entering the arena was basically knocking themselves out. And seeing their plans for Symbian 4 AND MeeGo, I don't think that's gonna change anytime soon.
