The Story of Nokia MeeGo

Posted by Soulskill on from the rise-and-fall-but-mostly-fall dept.

An anonymous reader writes "TaskuMuro, a Finnish tech news site, has anonymously interviewed various Nokia employees and pieced together an interesting timeline of the events which led to the abandonment of the Nokia MeeGo platform and to Nokia's current affiliation with Microsoft and Windows Phone. It appears the MeeGo project was rather disorganized from the get-go and fell victim to the company's internal tug-of-war, aimless management causing several UI redesigns and a none-too-wise reliance on Intel components which lacked some key features – namely, LTE support."

    The phone itself is running x11...

    And that's where you lost me. Running a new product on a painfully outdated stack? No thanks.
