Hmmm. Sometimes major moves like this lead to major shakeups in products and platforms...

and thats how you know you've picked a bad exec
generally jumping in and mucking about with existing plans too fast quickly leads to failure in most businesses

Martin will head a new unit that will work on the N900 and other devices using Maemo, according to an internal announcement. He was responsible for Internet and iPhone service strategy at Apple, according to the announcement, which was confirmed by Nokia spokesman Doug Dawson.
hope this person will not bring everything that's wrong and bad with apple over to maemo. it's a bit like celebrating the fact that a successful criminal was hired to lead your local bank.

And second of all, if he works in the Maemo organization, he will work for Mr. Jaaksi who I believe still has the vision what Maemo should be. This guy will not run Maemo.

This is a good sign Nokia is serious about competing with the iPhone and their app store.
