Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones

Well there are still manufacturing facilities outside Europe in free countries, and with the cost of manufacturing rising in a certain large east Asian empire why wouldn't modern largely automated...

Needless to say, that encapsulates the failure of Nokia's management and board of directors. Six years ago they came up with the tablet revolution and since then they've merely treaded water while...

Re: So now could Nokia come back on the project they had before - to make a device under Maemo 6 ?

An open-source OS should be independent of any manufacturer's "ownership" or whims in any case.

Nokia was in the position to essentially kill Maemo because they kept near-total control over it in...

Re: And where is the people from Nokia who worked on Maemo and Meego?

Maybe more like Nokia being Trolltech/Qt's mama, and she just became the latest minor concubine of ruthlessly abusive, totally self-centered and philandering Master MS.

Ahonen *may* be right as well as wrong, but many of his points were extremely selectively nitpicky.
