Jyri Engeström is an interesting, kind, and clever guy. I’ve had the good fortune to listen and learn from him on numerous occasions.
I’ve been watching him closely in his latest project that recently landed him in Nokia Multimedia. Unfortunately, it turned out to be unfeasible and he’s decided against continuing his work there (link below).
I remember asking him about it recently. Leaving was the right thing to do, before it got to where was no good spirit left. Much better than to let it fester until too long has past and nothing has been accomplished. I wish everyone had the spine and courage to think in this straightforward way.
I hope that his vision does come true. And I recommend all of you to see his thinking on this matter – The missing disruptive mobile device. Isn’t there anyone out there (VC, device manufacturer, service provider) who can lend this chap a hand? He just needs a little space and time (relatively easy), and a bit of cash to make this thing come true.

I did something that sounds completely nuts. I resigned from my position at Nokia Multimedia after just six weeks. That so because it turned out unfeasible to do what I consider sensible there. Better to acknowledge it in good spirit. There are some good people there and we remain friends.
