The Nokia Phoenix
I wrote in May of last year asking, only partially rhetorically, if this would be a make-or-break year for consumer electronics giant Nokia. And like many other pundits, I’ve offered my previous employer sound survival advice on more than one occasion [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ] . Based on...
Confessions of an APPathetic User
I’m going to confess something that’s likely to cost me Twitter followers, kill future career prospects and launch a mild Comment war:
I’m not much of an app user.
And I can’t understand those who are, either. Well, I can align with the casual user. The few...
Works for Me
Want to stop productive bug reporting in its tracks? Want to get the trolling rolling? Toss a flaming “Works for me!” into the mix and stand back.
I’ve often described the title of this piece as the most devastating insult one techie can inflict on another. It’s...
Is S40 Nokia’s Future?
source: http://www.cellfanatic.com/
Nokia’s S40 operating system has long been relegated to non-multitasking offerings in its stable of devices. Simple to implement and use, it’s the ammunition for Nokia’s carpet-bomb-the-developing-world-with-cellphones strategy....
I Need a New Phone
My third Nokia N900 lost the ability to recognize a SIM card recently. And the usual home repair tactics ( bending the SIM, adding padding between the SIM slot and battery ) had no effect. I tried a cold reflash to no avail.
So I went back to my previously-trusty Nokia E61x only to find...
Nokia’s N9: Cool, Cruel and Unusual
source: http://swipe.nokia.com
Unlike many friends and former Nokia colleagues, I have not had the pleasure of fondling a sexy new N9 so this won’t be a product review as much as a process and philosophy review. That means something a little less structured than usual and loaded...
Getting to MeeGo Conference May 2011
Yet another post before getting into actual MeeGo Conference coverage. I’ll share some logistics lessons in the hope that some will find them helpful, along with some related details. I’ve written on this subject before but there’s more and newer stuff to cover...
Best Practice: Contextual Business Cards

In this age of electronic identification, paper stock business cards may seem a little passé, but they’re still the most common mode of contact exchange as far as I can see. But they need not be “dumb”: even lowly paper media can be...
Mobile Computing: What’s in a Name?
source: maemo.nokia.com
Smartphones ( aka “ converged mobile devices “ ) have been around in one form or another since 1992. The moniker itself has elicited snickers and outright derision, but the mobile industry grasped for a good description of where cell phones were headed...
Maemo is Dead… Long Live Maemo
Source: http://www.maemoit.org
Before I launch into coverage of the MeeGo Conference in San Francisco this past week , I’d like to touch on a touchy and related issue: the future of Maemo .
As most readers here are already aware, Maemo was Nokia’s enigmatic attempt at a...
Getting Over Ovi
Image from Wikipedia
In a press release yesterday , Nokia informed its customers that its Ovi services would be folded back into the Nokia brand. Is this simply an admission of brand evangelism failure, or the prelude to further, more significant business changes?
Ovi History...
Intel and the Open Ecosystem
I have a confession to make that might not sit well in the AppUp World:
I’m a longtime AMD system builder.
I have to qualify that though. Eons ago, when I first started assembling my own personal computers, CPU competition was fairly open. Intel could not keep up with the demand...
What is the Future for Forum Nokia Champions?
Like many high-tech companies, Nokia’s success depends not only on its vast assembly of internal talent, but also on the numerous volunteer advocates and ambassadors of its solutions in the wild. To that end, Nokia formalizes recognition of top volunteers with its Forum Nokia Champion...
Wrap-up at MIX11
Me in the Pictage booth
Sorry for the delay– here’s the MIX11 wrap-up!
Keynotes
Wednesday MIX11 keynotes opened with a video that turned out to have been developed by 24-year old Brandon Foy , by request of Microsoft after being made aware of a fan video he had made. ...
