They are lagging behind at the moment, but I wouldn't say they are out of the equation yet. They just have to come up with one decent device (hardware), then the things you mention are in their favor.
Also, I don't think there will be only iOS and Android in the future. iOS limits you to Objective-C, Android to Java (JVM languages like Clojure seem to run not well on Android). So Nokia might be the only one allowing real freedom to pick the development tools in the end. Since it has native apps, all sorts of languages should be possible.
Yes, as somebody else mentioned, these are things that appeal to developers. But developers mean more apps, and developers/techies influence the buying decisions of non-techies.
Also I think their name has not faded completely yet. If they build one good modern phone, they can regain user's trust.
