wow, pretty intense stuff

webos is actually pretty nice, IMO

I have heard through grapevine HP is even moving some people internally to get the webOS thing going bigger


should be interesting

Good for HP! Somewhat ironically that was the company (well, DEC which was then borged by Compaq which was then borged by HP) that pioneered the Linux handheld computer.

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
 

WTF!!!
Did Nokia and Palm just swap employee? Soon we'll hear MS hiring Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo as a swap of Elop.

Lol this just keep getting weirder and weider-er.

May Nokia plans to plant the seeds inside other companies and then secretly stealing Ideas.

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
 

That's mainly a Microsoft strategy:
1) Get Microsoft Director on "Board of Directors" in company/organisation.

2) Director brings in other Microsoft friendly employees/Directors/consultants.

3) Company/organisation starts to follow Microsoft march.

4) Company/organisation make "odd" decisions. People say "I wasn't expecting that!" - E.g. OOXML standards

5) Profit.

6) Sarky comments like this appear on Internet.

Traitor!!! ;)

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
 

Was there ever a post that was more off topic than this?

Now are we going to hear about new work that any ex-Nokian finds?

Maybereport any new hiring by any company that ever made a linux device?

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
 

Jaaksi has confirmed that the rumours are correct to Taloussanomat.

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
 

TRAITOR!!! must die! lol. I'll BE BAK!

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
 

What to take away from this?

1. Jaaksi seems like he's truly passionate to stick with this segment of the industry.

2. He truly knows his ****, thus valued by he industry and quickly poached by a competitor.

I would have to say it's Nokia's loss.

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
 

In all fairness, mr Jaaksi is hardly "any ex-Nokian", I think it's safe to say that without him Maemo would have been a completely different animal to what we know and love(/hate) or might not even have existed. Personally I can't wait to see what HP's Palm division comes up with under his steering.

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
 

I am interested in knowing what kind of work any ex-Nokian finds.

I have been in a company that went under and one of the fascinating aspects is seeing what trap doors swallow employees up and what rabbit holes they pop back up from.

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
 

Living in Espoo and talked with few people who have left Nokia recently. Most seem to find work quickly. Situation seems to be even worse at Nokia Siemens Networks. Just talked with one ex-NSN who left last week after NSN announced that it won't host Christmas parties anymore. "Cancelling christmas was the last straw."

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
 

Well, doesn't matter where they go.... they are the one who makes most $$$$ out of it..... LOL

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
 

I guess now we all know now what the reasons are that he left Nokia...

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
 

Yes.

Nokia is switching to Windows Phone 7, and HP is dropping WebOS in favor of MeeGo!!1!eleventy!!

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
 

I just LOL'ed at this news.

Re: Jaaksi to Palm !!!!
