Nokia enters the Tablet market
Now that Nokia is free of microsoft they are coming out with a tablet. Always liked the hardware was disappointed they went windows for their OS instead of Android the main reason I feel that they got destroyed in smartphones. http://www.androidcentral.com/nokia-...llipop-out-box Not a bad device for $249 Last edited by pdurrant; 11-18-2014 at 08:00 AM. Reason: fixed typo in title |

Well, it's not really Nokia.
Nokia is licensing the name (and some software and IP) to Foxconn, who are doing everything from manufacturing to sales. They are moving out of the shadows of the OEM/ODM world into dealing with retailers and consumers. Which is a lot more significant than the name they are hiding behind. (Sweet tablet, too.) |

For me, Android became a has-been noncontender after android 4.2.
I don't really consider myself a power user but I keep a lot of programs on removable media. |

They did a Windows 8 tablet before BTW. |

Engadget says it's thinner than the Ipad Mini 3 it mimics:

This time, Foxconn is doing all three, and get paid when it sells, so it is really their tablet. They are using Nokia's name to sell it, but the bulk of the risk and money is theirs. They are moving up the value-add chain. Next step would be to put a brand they own on the gadget. |

Murdoch would sue. He forced Microsoft to change Skydrive because it might confuser viewers of his broadcast service. Most likely, Foxconn would buy some old familiar name lying dormant like Amstrad or Spectravision or make up something. Or, if they're really clever, talk to Disney or TimeWarner about licensing "WayneTech" or "Stark". |

I look forward to seeing this device in person. I don't really have a need or desire for it. But I would like to see it.

In my opinion Nokia is about 3 years too late to the tablet market. The tablet market is already over saturated.

On the performance end significant strides are being made continually, and if even one major player addresses the stagnation of memory capacity then all the other players will be forced to catch up in that vector if they are to retain future market share. Market saturation is reached when meaningful performance improvements subside. |
