Nokia's biggest mistake was embracing Android. They had a killer OS with MeeGo, running on a flagship phone, the N9. It could've toppled Android at the time, but sadly, management smarts weren't equal to those of their engineers.

So perhaps Intel is in the process of making an analogous mistake...

Nokia's biggest mistake were the internal politics between Symbian, Maemo and to MeeGo transition (Gtk -> Qt).

When the first Maemo prototypes were shown to us, many asked why a radio modem wasn't part of it.
