Comments on: Nokia ups the innovation stakes http://conversations.nokia.com/2008/07/31/nokia-ups-the-innovation-stakes/ Stories from around the Nokia neighbourhood Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:03:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: ARJWright http://conversations.nokia.com/2008/07/31/nokia-ups-the-innovation-stakes/comment-page-1/#comment-702 ARJWright Sun, 03 Aug 2008 22:44:49 +0000 http://conversations.nokia.com/?p=416#comment-702 Its a good thing that Nokia is also recognizing adn fostering innovation with some kind of backing/awards system. The thing that will need to be seen though is what happens when these grants and contest are over; will it be like other prorgams where you don't hear from the developers for 18+ months and that project they worked on becomes neutered to a severe degree? I also wonder how this can work along with Nokia Piolts in making a more open ecosystem of development and feedback that takes advantages of open source learned lessons and make something that doesn't just grow Nokia's marketshare, but the ability of people all over teh mobile usage line to benefit from things.
