So, Elop's mission for Microsoft is accomplished.

Nokia is dead and the re-possessed corpse (IP, patents) can be a very useful tool for bullying the remaining mobile industry.

Red face Re: Hardware Engineers: Can we replace OMAP 3430 w/ 3630 :)

Re: My rescue plan for meego

Where did Meego (and before it Maemo) fail?

I believe technologically they were on track to beat the competition (iOS and Android) so the failure(s) lie elsewhere.

Re: The dream: Qt on Android

I've come to the conclusion that technology had little if anything to do with Nokia's decision to "partner" Microsoft or with their hiring of ms-elop to do the deed.

Re: So now could Nokia come back on the project they had before - to make a device under Maemo 6 ?

An open-source OS should be independent of any manufacturer's "ownership" or whims in any case.

Nokia was in the position to essentially kill Maemo because they kept near-total control over it in...

Exclamation Re: NOKIA Rejected Android in Favor of M$ - Eric Schmidt

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it have made sense for Nokia to accelerate their Qt/Meego strategy (for the latest multi-core ARM chips) while making Android apps work seamlessly too?
