Very nice! Hope they'll release some Android phones, too.
Whatever phone shop I enter I found myself loving the Nokia sets the most, but I just can't use Windows.
Nokia N1 Android Tablet Revealed

Re: Nokia N1 Android Tablet Revealed
#12On the subject of this tablet (too little, too late), there is a nagging question, that maybe someone could explain:
Why has there not been any criminal investigation at all, into the infiltration and acquisiton of Nokia?
1. Microsoft exec becomes CEO of Nokia
2. He bankrupts the company (burning platform memo, etc.)
(Not only does he bankrupt it, but in all the history of corporate business, this is one of the most spectacular flameouts ever...)
3. Microsoft buys Nokia for peanuts
I mean, wouldn't there at least be a bit of an investigation into this? The moment Elop became CEO, I had a suspicion that this was going to happen, and it did! I wouldn't say I'm particularly smart or well-informed - certainly everyone else saw it coming too....
(edit: clarified a couple points)

#13I'm guessing this is the first example of device created with the Nokia brand as part of the licensing deal mentioned earlier this week [0].
They're simply cashing in on the value of that brand, and I worry ultimately it'll end up worthless.

#14Interesting: Intel inside ("Intel® 64-bit Atom™ Processor Z3580, 2.3 GHz")
Talk about overkill. That's a quad-core x86-64 CPU clocking up to 2.33Ghz. I realize Atom microarchitectures aren't wide as Haswell and ilk, but that's still some serious horsepower.
It's also interesting that Intel doesn't mention the TDP on their site.[1] I wonder if it eats more power than a comparable ARM CPU.

Which country would investigate?

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
Interesting especially Nokia adopting Android now.
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.
N1 is their product. They just use contract manufacturers just like Apple does. They are also hiring new people for tablet development.
Nokia only sold their phone manufacturing and design to Microsoft. Nokia is Nokia Networks, Mobile Broadband- and Global Services, Nokia HERE ja Nokia Technologies (previously Nokia Research). They also own the patents (just licensed to Microsoft)

I'd just like to point out that Windows Phone has almost nothing to do with real Windows, no matter what Microsoft's marketing is trying to say.

#19"And, it again isn’t the standard Android OS" 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?
It will be a good thing if Nokia or someone else creates and alternative for Android Play Store.
There are alternatives for Android Play Store already. The Chinese have several, there is the one from Amazon, ... There is no reason to think one by Nokia would be any more different or successful than those.
