Sources close to Nokia are relaying information regarding the company’s interest in the tablet market. There has been images appearing all over the Internet of what appears to be the Nokia tablet. The device has the trademark curved screen seen on the Nokia Lumia 800. It appears to have a champagne color. This is an interesting news since the Nokia Champagne code name leaked last year from the “I’m a WP7″ app.

This is probably a Windows 8 tablet or an entirely different thing like the Nokia Booklet taken from an angle and then photoshopped or something.

According to the CEO of the Finland-based mobile phone corporation, Stephen Elop, there are currently no specific and concrete plans of launching a tablet with their brand as yet. However, as to whether there are plans for the future, Elop sounds ambiguous.

In an interview at the CES 2012 in Las Vegas, Elop noted that people want a “uniformity of experience” in their devices, whether they be mobile phones, tablet PCs, laptops, or gaming consoles.

He conceded, however, that Nokia cannot possibly handle each and every aspect of our digital life, but he hinted at some future partnership with those who are already working in these fields.

Elop moreover commented on Microsoft’s Metro user interface, which received great attention at the CES. Metro UI is the new design language based on typography that Microsoft developers have created for their new products such as the Windows 8 OS.

The Nokia CEO praised Microsoft’s introduction of the new user interface at along with its live tiles feature during the technology tradeshow, calling the effort as having a synergy. He further went on to say that Nokia is interested in what Microsoft is doing.

Nonetheless, Elop still kept silent about whether there might be a future partnership between the two companies.

Is Nokia Gearing Itself Up for a Future Slate? is a post from: Eee PC

The Nokia Booklet 3G is one of the most expensive netbooks we’ve seen to date, so it’s probably come as no surprise that a knock off version is in the works. The design looks pretty much the same as the original Nokia Booklet but, the specs differ slightly. As it’s still being worked on, not all the specs are known as of yet. The 3G aspect of the booklet clone is currently unknown, so we’ll have to wait to hear on whether it will include a 3G connection option. Another spec which is unknown at the moment, is whether it has a HDMI output or not. MicGadget reports it as “maybe” having HDMI.

What we do know however, is that it will feature a 10.1 inch display, 1024×600 pixel resolution, 1GB RAM and a 160GB hard drive. It will also come equipped with the Intel Atom N450 CPU. The battery is also non removable, which depending on what the battery life is like, could be a big let down. Pricing isn’t known as of yet but, it’s expected to cost no more than 2,000 Yaun ($295).

Nokia was brave enough to put together, announce and release their very own netbook called the Booklet 3G last year. Why not try their luck with a tablet PC as well, right? DigiTimes today is reporting that the Finnish smartphone giant is currently trying to do just that. According to an unidentified Digitimes Research senior analyst, Nokia is going to launch an ARM-based tablet PC around the fourth quarter of 2010 and it will have either a 7- or 9-inch touchscreen display which will be supplied by Foxconn. The unnamed source goes on to say that about 100 engineering samples have already been made for testing, and that it is expected that Meego will be the OS used on the upcoming tablet PC. This might turn out good or bad for Nokia, depending on how they go about marketing and releasing it, but none of the info has been confirmed or denied for now.

ARM-based Nokia tablet PC with Meego OS on the way? is a post from: Eee PC

We recently announced the merge of Moblin and Maemo by Intel and Nokia, to produce MeeGo. MeeGo will be offered on netbooks, smartphones and tablets. Orange are set to release devices that will run on MeeGo but, whether it’ll be a netbook, tablet or smartphone is unclear at the moment. Orange have said however, that along with MeeGo, the devices will feature Orange Multimedia services, such as Orange TV and Orange Maps. There’s no release date from Orange for the MeeGo devices but, it’s likely to be a year away, as MeeGo won’t be available until late 2010.

At the MWC, Nokia have announced that they will be merging to create a Linux based operating system that will work on netbooks, tablets and mobile devices. Currently Intel provide the Moblin Linux interface found on netbooks, while Nokia have Maemo on mobile devices.

Not much is known about MeeGo at the moment but, we should start seeing it around the second quarter of 2010. We do however know, that devices running the MeeGo OS, will be able to access and run apps from both the Intel AppUp Center and the Nokia Ovi Store.

A little later than expected but, the Nokia Booklet 3G is now available within the UK. Unfortunately the pre-order price of £649 is correct and the booklet will be retailing for this. Specs of the Nokia Booklet 3G include a 10.1 inch display, Windows 7 Starter, 1GB of RAM, 120GB hard drive and 3G connectivity of course. The battery lasts for up to 12 hours. What makes this netbook/booklet more expensive than the rest, is the ability to display video in 720p.

Shipping is free on the item if you choose the standard delivery (3-5 days) but, if you want it quicker it’s an extra £10 on top for the express service (1-3 days).

While it isn’t available to purchase yet from Best Buy, over at Engadget they’ve got photos of the netbook being unboxed and shown with Windows 7. The netbook comes with the starter edition of Windows 7, which as Engadget note, only includes one wallpaper, the one shown but, I’m sure many will use their own photos anyway, or find other Windows 7 wallpapers from other sources. This is the first demo unit to arrive at Best Buy. You can view the photos of the unboxing after the jump.

The lucky guys over at Laptop Mag have, as they put it, finally got their hands on the upcoming netbook from Nokia. In previous articles it’s been compared to the MacBook Air and this hands on is no different. It’s noted that while the netbook is slim and sleek at 19.99mm it’s heavier than expected at 2.6 pounds. Like the MacBook Air, the Nokia Booklet is constructed from a single piece of metal which adds the weight to the netbook but, gives it a beautiful aluminium chassis. Also adding to the weight of the netbook is an impressive 16 cell battery designed in the netbook and not sticking out. This gives the netbook up to 12 hours battery life.

Like most netbooks with glossy lids, unfortunately it picks up finger prints very easily. In the video we see the netbook in Aquamarine blue but, it’s also available in white. On the inside it features seamless edge to edge glass display, also found on the MacBook Air. However Laptop Mag feel the display could have been bigger than 10 inches by maker the bezel smaller. It’s also the same case with the keyboard, it feels like it could have been bigger and feels more cramped than other keyboards found on 10 inch netbooks.

You can view the video hands on here as embedding is, unfortunately not available.
