Microsoft: Should They Buy Nokia? (VIDEO)

As I noted in a post on Friday, Nomura analyst Rick Sherlund has discovered that Pegatron, the contract manufacturer building the Surface tablets for Microsoft, is also at work on a prototype Windows 8 handset for Microsoft. That?s fascinating: it suggests either a) Microsoft really is adopting the Apple model, which calls for tight software and hardware integration, or b) the company is not confident about the long-term future for Nokia, or c) both of those.

While experimenting with branded phones, the company also could decide to simply buy Nokia; it might worth it for the IP and the Navteq mapping business along, even if they scrapped the Nokia-branded handset business.

In this video, I pass along a few thoughts on the situation.
