Microsoft Windows Phone Program Manager Joe Marini leaves over unauthorized tweets regarding upcoming Nokia Windows Phone.
Joe Marini tweeted his experiences using the still un-released Windows Phone prototype from Nokia. It now turns out he has had to leave the company as his comments on Twitter were unauthorized and not coherent with the NDA (non Disclosure Agreement) which everyone has signed.
Microsoft has used Apple's approach of secrecy to help build up anticipation on their upcoming Windows 8 and their partnership with Nokia for Windows Phone. They have only offered little controlled leaks similar to when Nokia CEO previewed the Nokia Sea Ray smartphone.
Microsoft is taking breech of the NDA quite seriously as they build up their arsenal to battle Apple who is currently leading in smartphone and tablet product offerings.
