This should not come as a surprise to anyone, but Nokia's design chief said in an interview that the Finnish company is working on a tablet

Not a surprise because it was a matter of time, but at the same time surprises me.

I dont think it'll be anything ground breaking though. They're coming late to this game when companies like Samsung, Apple, Asus all have it sewn up rather tight.

Nokia made a laptop why is it surprising for a tablet? Plus they had those internet tablet kind of devices too before, forgot the model, but it had pretty big screen for back then..

@djin:

Correct, the internet tablets N770, N800 and N810, with screens the size of a modern phone, but huge for their time.

@etaab
Coming late is not always a disadvantage. I'm thinking of "late" products such as the iPhone and the Xbox.

Don't you think you'd miss having a proper keyboard though Miss UK? I think I'd miss being able to move the screen to suit your sitting / lying viewing angle.

@ Laffen - but if Nokia are going to release one, they'll be going down the Windows route which isnt very popular in phones at all at the moment, and they're also dipping a toe in going down the whole touch screen pc route, so they'll be competing with the pc manufacturers.

So, its a tricky market for them. Personally i think they'd be better off going with Android.

windowsphone might not be popular but that may be different for a tablet as that is more like a pc as a phone.

A Nokia tablet with Symbian Belle ?? not likely. Unless it has really low specs and screen resolution..

All I can say is, "wow!" Maybe this will finally get me to switch from Android. Just maybe.
