Maemo positions opened in Finland, US and India

There are a lot of positions opened now in Maemo. Just click here, and  this should take you to a search engine which has all our opened positions. Uuse the obvious "maemo" keyword, and you will find everything from engineering to marketing positions.

In the Application team, we are looking for architects, project managers, programmers, etc... covering a lot of different areas: browsing, location, real time communication, productivity, testing, program management, services, etc...and there are openings in Finland, US (Mountain View) and Bangalore.
I -in particular - am looking for somebody to drive our development in Bangalore - if you feel up to it , don't hesitate to contact me.

So far, so good.

N900 public launch and announcement...that went all right...Bloggers blogged. Twitters tweetted. People got excited... a dozen millions hits on the maemo5 website within 24 hours...Genuine interest all around.
Then came Nokia world....And the first opportunity for hands-on reviews...What was the result?. Reviews were mostly positive and the buzz was remarkable on the floor of Nokia world.

So far, so good.

But it's not over until it´s over.Until the device is in the hands of customers and people start loving the device, all of  this means very little-The only thing that can be said at that point is that people understand what this device is about and what we tried to do.

So, let's keep up the good work, let's stay focus...We are on the right path.

Videos

Apart from the promo video - which everybody has probably already seen - , there has been a couple of extra  interesting post on youtube
The first one is a small presentation from our friends from marketing:

....But my favorite would have to be this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WhyrhWsMFk

It only has a couple of hundred hits on youtube so far but it is building a cult following which should rank it right up there with the productions of Andy Warhol and Luis Bunuel in a matter of months...and will also probably trigger a long series of such alternative weird videos to my greatest pleasure...
