Who'da thunk it - Microsoft and Nokia. Back when I worked in mobile there would have been snow on the sun for this to happen but in this brave new world, it doesn't seem so strange. Scoble still pops out the money quote though:

 

The only thing that would be more shocking is if Steve Jobs announced that the iPhone were going with Silverlight instead of Flash.

Only days after he said

The thing about Microsoft is that they’ll do some killer offline technology but it won’t work on the Symbian cell phone or iPhones that I’m currently using

This is a BIG win for Microsoft though and there is more to come this week at MIX08. It's going to be a fun few days and Robert is here so lets see what else he can reverse predict 🙂
