Nokia's Tero Ojanperä leaving to work on the Vision+ Windows Phone apps project
Share:
Vision+ will also dabble in some other hip activities like renewable energy, clean water and a mission to Mars (ok, we made the last one up), but the main purpose of its existence seems to be spearheading Windows Phone 3rd party software development for now, which will undoubtedly help Nokia in the longer term.
Tero Ojanperä will step down at the end of September. "The new responsibilities at Vision + are a great opportunity to take advantage of my diverse experience in the industry, with Nokia's various functions and development of mobile communities. I am very excited about the opportunity to help developers and businesses", he comments.
Largely credited with the creation of Nokia's Ovi Store for Symbian apps, Tero Ojanperä will be a managing partner in the new model that the fund will apply - financing will come from developers themselves and clearly defined business projects with immediate opportunities for commercialization and a marketing backup.

If he's responsible for Nokia's "OVI" (worst, most irrelevant name ever created for mass markets) Store, then he's moving to Microsoft to bring THEM down from the inside, too...

I guess you didn't know that in finland they speak finnish right, the name may look irrelevant to you but not to everybody.
I've read your posts on other articles and I can tell that you are just a Nokia hater. Why is it so hard to be objective?????? What happened to the professionalism and the repect?????

Everyone is jumping from the Nokia Titanic into the Microsoft lifeboat before it is too late.
