Meego Tampere summit

Tomorrow I go to the Meego Summit FI in Tampere. I will talk there about Tracker, as usual, but this time sharing happily the stage with Adrien Bustany . The plan is to talk about what Tracker does NOW in a very pragmatical way, explain the limits we have hit, and give a hint on the more or less experimental ideas we have for the future

Nokia’s towel has been thrown – sad but true

So it happened. Mr Elop decided to make financial geeks happy and disappoint all devoted Nokia fans at the same time by announcing “strategic partnership” with Microsoft. What struck me today in the morning, once such bold announcement has been made, is that no earlier than few months ago Mr Elop has been quite positive about future of Nokia in context of MeeGo in one of the interviews he gave.

There have been a lot of speculation and rumours since Nokia’s new CEO, Stephen Elop has chipped in his famous line “[Nokia] must build, catalyse or join a competitive ecosystem” .
