Wasn't there a big fuss about Atisaari hiring Skillman for Meego development some months ago?

Um..big mystery..so they did not tell him?

He was brought to improve MeeGo's UI to get it ready for the mass public... before the dark times... before the Empire...

Peter just wanted to do a three month internship. I hear Elop gave him good reference.

Skillman will probably be heading out.

After the Meego device that group will be put on researching "other new disrupting technologies", as it was put by Nokia. That´s after the disruptive (Maemo/Meego) innovation has been killed for the benefit of Microsoft.

I was laughing at that description they gave for MeeGo. Though they did put it bluntly that Symbian was going to be killed so at least MeeGo got a bit more positive ring on their talks.
Still at most it sounds like the N900 situation again.

They are keeping MeeGo because a phone is on its way. They won't release a WP7 Nokia (argh) before the end of 2011. So MeeGo will be their claim to greatness until their... abomination... is ready. Then MeeGo will dissappear too.

Yeah and remember Meego can´t be too great. That´d cause some serious humiliation for the two Microsoft men Mr. Flop and Mr. Ballmer and this all great alliance of theirs. They kind of have make that device suck so that they can cast that Windows offering of theirs in a good light.

So I wouldn´t even expect N900 awesomeness, and even worse lifecycle support.

Did someone listen to this silly question session with Ballmer and Flop?

The first question was "So you are named Steve and Stephen, have you been getting confused with your names" (tehehehehe)

Yes, Nokia will have to intentionally make MeeGo awful, because left to its own devices the team will produce an absolutely stunning, modern, polished, bug free, in-demand OS any moment now!

Nokia is intentionally crippling products they believe could be market leaders just so they can introduce products they know will be inferior because they want to hurt you personally.


This is an example of a dearly held belief that needs to adapt itself to remain forever unfalsifiable. If MeeGo didn't show, you could make all sorts of claims about what it "could have been". Now that MeeGo will actually appear in some form or another, that means people will actually be able to look at it and see if it really would have been in shape to lead Nokia's smart phone models. Thus, your belief adapts to create a conspiracy in the event it doesn't turn out to be a polished, competitive release. If it's great = Nokia sucks. If it's awful = Nokia made it that way on purpose, so Nokia still sucks. Your mind ensures there's no way for your belief to be overturned.
