Microsoft to Acquire Nokia Devices and Services Business, Finally.

OK, who won the pool? If you chose September, 2013 then claim your winnings. If you chose September 2 or September 3, 2013 then you won the jackpot.

Many saw it coming since Stephen Elop was appointed as Nokia CEO back on September 10, 2010. Microsoft is set to acquire Nokia’s devices & services business, license Nokia’s patents and mapping services. (Microsoft | Nokia)

Microsoft to Acquire Nokia

The timing is a little peculiar though, just about ten days after Steve Ballmer announced his planned retirement from being Microsoft CEO.

From the Press Release:

Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft will pay EUR 3.79 billion to purchase substantially all of Nokia’s Devices & Services business, and EUR 1.65 billion to license Nokia’s patents, for a total transaction price of EUR 5.44 billion in cash. Microsoft will draw upon its overseas cash resources to fund the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, subject to approval by Nokia’s shareholders, regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.

EUR 5.44 billion equals that’s USD 7.14 billion on September 2, 2013.And that’s in cash!

For comparison, Google acquired Motorola Mobility for USD 12.5 billion in cash.

Who else would sell Windows Phone after the acquisition is completed?

Microsoft-Nokia

p.s. Nokia loses $151 million in Q2 2013 while increasing sales of its Lumia lines.

Google Nexus 4 is now $100 Cheaper

File this on “I paid $100 more” file.

Google Nexus 4 is now $199 and $249 for the 8 GB and 16 GB model, respectively.

Google Nexus 4 is Now 100 Dollars Cheaper

I paid $349 for the 16 GB model when it was first released. It was “cheap” back then, now it is even cheaper. No contract.

For some reason I wished I paid $100 less back then. Ah well.

Impostors at Google Play

Plant vs. Zombies 2 was only available for iOS at launch. It is not yet announced when this game would be available on other platforms such as Android. As always, Android Community is trying hard to stay classy.

For some reasons there are numbers of fake Plants vs. Zombies 2 game at Google Play. Fake developers impersonating real companies.

Take a look at the screenshots from Google Play:

Impostors at Google Play 1

“Plants Vs Zombies 2” by Gameloft Ltd.
The last time I checked, Plant vs. Zombies 2 is a game by Popcap, an Electronic Arts company.

This “Gameloft Ltd” company apparently also makes games such as Minecraft Pocket Edition, Hay Day and Injustice Among Us. It is obvious that the three games mentioned are actually made by different companies.

Curiously, there’s another “Plants vs Zombies 2” by Heather Kountz at Google Play. This “Heather Kountz” also makes games such as Minecraft Pocket Edition, Clash of Clans and Injustice Among Us.

Shocking!

Impostors at Google Play 2

Few days later, both “Gameloft Ltd” and Heather Kountz” disappeared from Google Play, conveniently replaced by “Suzanne Lally” and “EA Games Apps”.
