Nokia = #BAILworthy: MeeGo device chief quits

Intel can only speak for MeeGo products running their hardware. They honestly have no idea what Nokia is up to because Nokia is working with Harmattan and not MeeGo 1.1 that will be public at the end of October
 
the head of Meego is Out. Does that tell you anything or not?

And who exactly is developing for meego other than Nokia and Intel? Nokia needed a high end OS out 12 months ago. Not in 2011 when Apple Microsoft and Google will have refined platforms and committed developers. Motorola just released 7 Android phones yesterday. In one day.
 
they didn't hire Skilman (MeeGo User Experience) to replace Jaaksi (VP of MeeGo Devices).

in advertising, that's like hiring a lead designer to replace an art director. not the same thing.
 
It doesn't matter because it is very common that a new CEO clears out a lot of VPs or that they resign due to loyalty to the old, you've never heard of that?
 
like others have been suggesting in this thread (and in tech media): IT DOES MATTER, it *is* significant, irrespective of loyalty. it is a sign of great change in Nokia, and likely a portent of more to come. this wasn't a bunch of lower level managers getting moved out.
 
I am quite happy to simplify stuff for you when required....

ps: don't post my stuff out of the context in which it was written. it's shabby behavior.
 
Agreed. I cite the Daimler Benz-Chrysler Motor Company fubar as a primary example. Daimler actually had to pay out more money even after they were able to dump their portion of Chrysler to halt the bleeding. Shameful.

I think (conceptually speaking...) that Nokia was on the right track with their attempt to keep everything in house when implumenting all of the different flavors of the S60 platform at it's peak (...if there ever was such a thing). The main issue that I read was that the right hand didn't know what the left was doing. This is always a crutch for R&D in any industry!

Too big of a stretch to dismantle S40 and S60 in their current states and start from scratch? That would've been the more efficient way to go if it weren't for the amount of capital and man hours devoted toward lack-luster projects destined to crash and burn like: v3, v5, v4, Meego, Maemo, etc etc. My $0.02 based on absolutely nothing.
 
For what it's worth, a person that has just seen the latest build of Nokia's Meego implementation at this stage was very positively impressed. So here is to hoping...
 
Didn't feel the need to post the rest because as the second part of my post said, I agreed with you. Is the device chief the "head" of nokia's meego operations though? I would think that it would be just another unnecessary management position within the whole group as we haven't heard anything about another person stepping into the job.

With the new CEO there had better be more people leaving and new people coming in. The current management has had forever to get it right and they still don't have results. There are 10 windows phone 7 phones coming out in less than a month and a serious advertising campaign to go along with them. Nokia will be in a much harder place especially since all they have for this year will be the N8 and C7.
