On 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…

I thought it was already established that "megacorporations" are above the law of any country.

Which country would investigate?

Finland or EU (not a country (yet?), I know), of course. Nokia was a Finnish asset and EU should be looking into these deals to begin with.

2 and 3 are highly contentious. Nokia's mobile phone division was in huge trouble long before Elop showed up, and there is no indication that anything he did made it worse. And given the state Nokia was in, the deal they got from MS was extremely fair.

I had the exact same thing and also, after Microsoft buys Nokia, Elop became Microsoft's Vice President of Microsoft's Devices & Services... It's like it was meant to be :)

He also received quite a bonus after selling Nokia

I was thinking about buying the Nokia Android phone back in June, but then I read reports they abandoned the platform. I don't trust them. Being stuck with unsupported software is really bad if the software sucks. And Android often does. I wouldn't consider 2.1 or lower release ready.. beta at best.. yet they sold it to consumers.

Nokia was 4 months away from shipping the "Lumia" running MeeGo when February 10th happened.

People were pretty angry.

Who would you investigate and what crimes would you accuse them of?

The closest thing I'm coming up with is blaming the directors that hired the CEO for tanking shareholder value, but that's a civil matter. Being incompetent is not a crime unless you can prove fraud.

It looks like 7in iPhone. Even the connector looks like a lightning jack from the renders. And at 6.9mm its thinner than every iPad other than the Air 2 and is even thinner than the 6+ (its as thin as the 6).

Also a quad core intel atom. Are there any consumer devices running x86 Android? Seems like an interesting choice, I wonder how long intel can squeeze that battery.

Really interesting design choice on Nokia's part, but it seems too recent to actually be a copy-cat in design. Really can't wait to get my hands on one.

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 e…

if they do then that sucks, Nokia has a LOT of industry patents, including a few on bluetooth.
