Nokia N1 Android Tablet Revealed

Why is this a good thing? Does it mean that it's going to lag behind, and at some point stop running the latest version of Android leaving you with a device that can't be updated?

According to The Verge it will run stock android 5.0, just with a custom launcher installed.

Thats the Z Launcher which Nokia had released months back for Android.

Interesting especially Nokia adopting Android now.

I'm not so sure. It's clear to me MS want Windows phone to look like a premium product all of its own merit and not just anything with a Nokia badge on it. Even the cheaper phones are targeted to be more top end for developing markets. Nokia must be a massive thing to have acquired solely to crank out windows phones.

Do MS still go hunting for patent money from android manufactures? So they can potentially undercut everyone in the android game now right?

Well, I think it's tough to tell whether it's Nokia adopting Android or the company that's licensing the Nokia name (a Chinese hardware manufacturer) that's adopting Android. I don't doubt they had sign-off on the Android aspect (and, hopefully, actual device quality) prior to lending their name to it, but it seems like, given their plan to license off the Nokia brand, their "adoption" of anything is kind of moot.

It will be a good thing if Nokia or someone else creates and alternative for Android Play Store.
