Maybe he saw something bad we don't see yet and realize the comback may never come....
- Meego development is behind schedule. Judging by current progress I have some doubt whether we will see golden release of Meego 1.1 next month.
- Harmattan is affected by Meego developement pace.
- Symbian 4 is delayed.

But anyway, obviously he is pissed off by internal politics. Good luck to him and to Nokia....

He was a lot of peoples favorite to take over after OPK i think hes mad he got overlooked for the big Job

Hmm I wonder how this will weigh in with Nokia being quick to attack the competition and become the leader and all that jazz we've been hearing for the past ~year?

I would imagine that this would result in some confusion if not among the ranks of ordinary workers, then Nokia getting together and keeping up with the strategy they've devised.

Its probably a matter of internal politics and getting passed over. I'd be mighty pissed as well if I had sunk 20 years into a company, getting groomed for leadership and having it pass me by.

[fantasy fairytale] I'd like to see Elop flying out the door and Vanjoki taking his place as CEO.

I think that Vanjoki is trying the ice with this move as he's decided to still hold his speech at Nokia World, unlike OPK. I think Vanjoki doesn't want to leave with a bad impression, so that future work at Nokia could still be an option.

Savander to fill Vanjoki's boots and Vanjoki to replace Elop. [/fantasy fairytale]

I have the same prediction I had when Meego was announced: This will mean reorganization and delay.

So... who else is going to buy the Intel MeeGo device instead? :P

Hopefully the next Mobile solutions leader is going to be someone who's been working with Maemo and MeeGo.

Maybe they can hire TexRat back?

Tex for PREZ!
