On a call with a few Nokians about innovation. Bottom line: binge on your own dogfood, live by usage stats, and iterate like mad

    talking to Nokia about innovation is like talking to a puppy about the Cuban missile crisis

    @constantine: don't generalize. there's some who get it.

    getting it is one thing, i know plenty of people who get it. plenty. knowing where you want to be doesn't mean anything if you're not actually walking (running!) on the path to get there.

    @constantine: I'll also say that rather many people work in innovative way. It's just all lost in mass.

    probably, we're in different units so our lens on the company is different.

    It should be 10x faster to iterate with software than hardware. Which means two things: software firms that are not iterating rapidly have no excuse; and HW companies should be iterating more with software.

    does NOK realize "the power of software" (Bill Gates quote)? too early to answer that question.

    Just be ageist : I was the youngest person at the Symbian Partners Event. I'm 37, which isn't all that young. Where are the next generation of Nokians?

    the partners event was a b2b thing, of course the older business folks are there. there are plenty of under 30 nokia people.

    @jyri: totally agreeing wit this. SW != HW; as simple as that. With SW you can do things you couldn't do with HW (like fixing bugs while the customer is trying the product out - I've done some UI work like this (and only with customer as the thing wasn't planed to be released to wild nature) )

    @norcalberney: I'm 20, I think @constantine isn't that much older :)
