Nokia to Reveal a New Market Disrupting Device on June 21st
iTWire reported they received an invitation from Nokia Australia for an announcement and demo of a “new market disrupting device” on June 21st.

Jan 4th, The Day Stephen Elop Realized MeeGo Was Not Enough
Bloomberg has a nice lengthy article on Nokia CEO Stephen Elop’s Nokia Adventure that I suggest you go read right right now. One part I’d like to point out is when Nokia decided to put MeeGo in the backseat in favor of Windows Phone. It was when they realized MeeGo would not be able to keep Nokia in the game.
