“Nokia Corp.’s head of MeeGo Devices Ari Jaaksi has decided to leave the company, only months before the Finnish mobile phone maker is expected to launch high-end handsets based on the new operating platform,” Gustav Sandstrom reports for The Wall Street Journal.
MacDailyNews Take: MeeGo now, why there’s still something to leave. See ya, wouldn’t want to be ya!
Sandstrom reports, “Mr. Jaaksi, who has been involved in the development of the new platform working under MeeGo Computers chief Alberto Torres, has decided to step down for personal reasons and will leave the company in a couple of weeks, Nokia press spokeswoman Eija-Riitta Huovinen said Tuesday, continuing the recent exodus of senior executives at the Finnish company. Mr. Jaaksi wasn’t immediately available to comment further on his departure.”
“Mr. Jaaksi’s decision to quit comes amid a wave of departures of top Nokia executives,” Sandstrom reports. “The company last month replaced Chief Executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo with Microsoft Corp.’s Stephen Elop. Shortly after that, Mr. Vanjoki said he would resign after he was passed over for the top job, while Chairman Jorma Ollila plans to step down in 2012.”

MacDailyNews Take: Nokia obviously has severe retention issues to go along with their braggadocio-wthout-backup issues. This is what happens when companies sit on their duffs and fail to innovate: When real competition arrives, first there’s lots of talk, then there’s lots of action – in the exodus department. Watching Nokia’s headlong slide into irrelevancy is particularly delicious.
MeeGo Too….hahahahahah
MeeGo Too….hahahahahah
At least it looks like nobody can accuse Jokia of anal retention…

Nokia’s reasoning seem to be to manufacture as many different crappy models as possible. There are 25 different Nokia phones on their web site and as many as 50 on the market. Their reasoning is that they’re better than Apple because Apple only has one phone.

“Why there’s nothing left” or “while there’s nothing left” ?

That’s 4 batters out. Get off the playing field already!
But Nokia may live to bat another inning… la la la…
Who am I kidding? With Stephen Elop, ex-MS (!), running the show?! If you get spattered from the blood bath remember to soak first in cold water to lift the stain.

Actually, if you go to Cnet, they list around 150 current Nokia phone models.
150!
If they can’t figure out why that is bad, they deserve to go the way of the dodo.

Isn’t it strange how many personal issues arise for executives when their companies are failing? Didn’t seem to need that quality time with the wife and kids when business was going well.

To be fair to Nokia, they have innovated far more that the majority of also-ran handset manufacturers. In fact, their Maemo OS is very impressive so I don’t really understand is why they decided to get into bed with Intel on Mee-Go. It creates confusion in the market place and so it would seem, in the boardroom too.
Better to reserve judgement on Mee-Go until we see it, and more importantly what the reaction of the public and the also-ran handset manufacturers like HTC and LG.
