Quite sad read to a Maemo and MeeGo fan. I wonder did MeeGo ever get full backing inside Nokia.
this is not only him saying this. I heard another ex employer from finland saying the same. the team behin n900 was very small.

so could be very well some of the reason Nokia is totally ****ed up today.

To play devils avocate My gues is when MrFlop came to Nokia the he called for "the best" engineers asking them how symbian and Meego was progressing. Problem is most of the most influenced old engineers are symbian fanboys...

They may very well made meego look worse than it was and how good symbian still was.

And when the realised symbian is not the future they going MrFlops way and he is giving them more money to be active developers for WP instead. For them there is no alternative. They couldnt just change mind now and go Meego.

Those engineers had pissed on Maemo and now Meego for years. and now they will be brainwatched Microsoft engineers or get fired instead.
