@JohnnieHougaardNielsen Speaking of "using their expertise in chemical production", meanwhile I understand that FujiFilm did just that & switched to selling cosmetics (under the Fanuc brand) as apparently they have similar chemistry to film

@lennyvalentin6485 Actually I remember Kodak didn't want to capitalize on digital camera IP as that would cannibalize its existing market for film & film cameras, but in the end other competitors still went ahead with selling digital cameras & the film market still ended up being cannibalized

@Slav4o911 Yep I've heard of predictions before of how Intel might face long-term challenges as people use more smartphones instead of computers. As for Nokia I remembered their 1st few smartphones still used "dumb phone" hardware e.g. 3x4 keypads instead of QWERTY keyboards, directional pads & soft keys instead of touchscreens, & they continued to use them even after the iPhone w its touchscreen was launched. The Symbian S60 OS used by Nokia's smartphones was also less user-friendly e.g. you won't be able to find any "Delete file" option in the file manager until you 1st selected the 'Mark' option (to 'mark'/select which files you want to delete. Samsung handphones wasn't popular previously (I didn't like that their UI was inconsistent between different models, unlike Nokia & Sony Ericsson) but they doubled down on touchscreen models soon after iPhone arrived, which I think helped drive their adoption
