Nokia transfers Symbian development, employees to Accenture

[migo]

What incentive does Accenture have to do a good job?

What motivates an engineer to continue working on an end-of-life OS when the engineer could be working on something with a future?

It's not like they could do it any worse than Nokia.

This still won't detour me from possibly getting the e6.


If it launches with little bugs (well less bugs than the e72 launch) I'll probably pick it up on sale down the road...

Who do you think has been responsible for a lot of recent Symbian development... Accenture. This basically is Nokia dumping the rest on them and washing their hands of Symbian.

If you haven't figured it out by now, this (inserting Elop into Nokia) is just another typical clumsy Steve Ballmer last-ditch attempt at pushing out WP7 at any cost, while at the same time killing off an OS that M$ (being stuck in the past as they are) still considers to be a competitor.

Oh, and the IP of course. That was really the main reason why Ballmer/Elop hijacked Nokia. Really quite a coup for Microsoft - and they did not even have to buy them -- yet. (Now that Nokia is essentially no more, the stock price will keep falling until a point where M$ decides that it's time to officially go through with the purchase).

Sad story, but true. Now we will have a choice b/w 3 marketing platforms.. can't wait
