That they're one of many new startups after the various layoffs in Nokia, actually one of the later ones. People who went early after Feb11 2011 (went to bigger companies typically) or went for creating startups, then next phase as more budgets expired in between Q2 and Q3, then next quarter again and this seems to have been part of the last wave of layoffs and startups..

.. and that's about it?

(Disclaimer: I'm not involved with CBTec Oy)

A startup usually goes in these phases:



Given they're fairly young, they may have just started hiring after gaining initial seed money. I personally think it might be more interesting to see what the earlier startups come up with.

So I think it'll take a while before we see anything from these.

From an entirely mobile POV, it'll be hard to gather talents that match a complete and capable company that can deliver mobile stacks or even devices. So it'll probably be subcontracting to other companies.

Again, as I've said before - I hope that new startups will see the value of working together, especially when it comes to software stacks and that way increase their individual strength.
