There's nothing we like more than an open-source platform. A community of like-minded individuals working to make a platform work for them, the way they want, is just cool.
So, what's up with the current spate of employee desertions? We're hearing that, over the past few weeks, Nokia's Maemo group has seen four employees involved with the World wide web Tablet platform taking an indefinite leave of absence. It's safe to state that the Maemo platform will still be chugging along on Nokia 770, N800, and N810 Internet Tablets, but what's the massive picture here?
Is Nokia planning to go a different route with their open-source plans? Or are these guys just tired of working with Maemo?
In either case, we're just going to wait on the WiMAX Nokia N810 to hit at CTIA.
