Last year at Mobile Monday Summit, I was interviewed by techistan.com to give an introduction to what Agile & Scrum are about.
In my previous post, I mentioned that Qt would still be part of the Nokia strategy. Although it was not clear on the initial announcement, Rich Green, Nokia’s CTO, made sure that the message was picked up at MWC. On the same note, Nokia has been said to “disengage” from [...]
Was having a look at Nokia Conversation website and got hanged up that picture: 11.2.11 – Weird isn’t it? A palindrome. Let’s do a bit of math on that. We’ve got Microsoft & Nokia involved with that date, each accounts for one part. 1+1=2=1+1 = 2.2.2 All elements are equal. [...]
Alright, so there has been a lot of complaints from Symbian. Most of it is down to Nokia’s lack of UI/UX leadership and execution, but that’s what most of the consumers see and complain about. So let’s NOT talk about that, shall we? What am interested in right now, is [...]
I was at the Nokia Q&A MWC conference where Stephen Elop tried to share Nokia’s new Strategy in broader terms. I asked a question regarding Nokia’s developer ecosystem. Fast forward to 3.45min or so.
Walking around the isle of Mobile World Congress, I found myself staring at an accessory booth. Owning an iPad, and couple of other devices, I’ve been looking for cases in the past, but never found anything that would stand out of the crowd, and for a good price. Krussel, a [...]
Myriad announced before Mobile World Congress that they had managed to get Dalvik running on the N900, giving the opportunity to the ecosystem to use Android applications on the Maemo platform. Here is a quick video I grabbed from Myriad’s hospitality suite.
Finns and scandinavians will be familiar with that concept. Plunging into freezing water after spending 20mins at 120 degrees in Sauna is a good way to tighten the body and wake up the mind. This is pretty much what I went through as I got pushed of the burning platform [...]
{EAV:11cff48be37d1a0c} It’s been crazy at the Campus Party and I’ve had an amazing time! I was last night at the “Geeks on Beer” event, listening to investors, startups and entrepreneurs discussing about the Brazilian market, the challenges and opportunities. It was a crash course in Portuguese, but it was fun [...]
Since I got to São Paulo on Monday, I’ve been diving deep in the Campus Party. It’s been really fun and I’ve started to feel like a Campusero myself. But it hasn’t been that easy… Let’s rewind and look at how things went! I got to the venue on [...]Once again, I am lucky to spend time with bright people sharing their passion of Technology, Innovation with maybe a bit of geekyness So what is the Campus Party?

When I joined Nokia back in 2007, I had never done much of public speaking and was for sure not looking for that kind of role. After 2 years working on products, I was lucky enough to be brought to Mobile World Congress to be on the floor, “selling” the [...]
Kevin Energy was playing his last set at Sade last night. Had an amazing time with the guys as usual. Hard to explain the feeling, and am sure this video will not give the full picture.If someone knows about pushing the limits, it is Jeb Corliss. His dream has been to land a wingsuit without parachute. He has been practicing flying and has done amazing videos, pushing the envelope. Today the bucket of luck emptied dramatically. Jeb was jumping in Cape Town, at the Table [...]
If 5 years ago, someone would have told me that they were building a new mobile operator in France, I would have though they were crazy. It takes an amazing amount of resource, energy, money and time to build an infrastructure that supports modern technologies. On top of that, you [...]I’m now sitting at a café in Helsinki. It’s -11°c outside, just bought winter tires for my bike and chilling before heading home. It has been 6 months that I have not contributed to my blog… Where have those 6 months gone? What have I done so important and time [...]
Quick update! Last Friday I was invited by a friend to join an event at Premier Park, a driving track in southern Finland. The event was quite interesting as we got a chance to discover the different tracks around activities such as off road driving, emergency braking and traction control [...]
The N9, rumored to be Nokia’s first MeeGo device, seems to be on the verge of becoming public. For once, Nokia has managed to create a lot of buzz behind an event that used to be unnoticed: Nokia Connection 2011 Nokia is known to host its events on the sidelines of major [...]
