It doesn't like android, it doesn't look like an I-Phone, got moving tiles. It's a completely different concept. It's hard for consumers to get their heads wrapped around that and if they can't, the consequences could be devastating to both Nokia's and Microsoft's bottom lines. In San Francisco, I'm (??), cnet.com for CBS News.
