Meanwhile in 2012 ... http://slatd.deviantart.com/art/Nokia-N1-298087658
Earlier quoted context omitted.
As a MeeGo fans since back when it was called Maemo (I even had an N810) I'm as sad as the next person to never get that phone. That being said I am not at all convinced that going with MeeGo over WP wouldn't have left Nokia in worse position than the one it ended up in.
Nokia had Qt+QML and the opportunity to take this cross-platform, plus an innovation advantage with Meego (no Java overhead) and patents. Now Microsoft is attempting to take C# cross-platform and open-source, after blocking Qt on Windows Phone. Years have been lost. Meanwhile Java chews up memory and courtroom time on Android. There's still nothing on the market to compare with Nokia offline maps -- uses no data when…
Interesting: 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. 1. http://ark.intel.com/products/81195/Intel-Atom-Processor-Z35...
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 pa…
Acer, Asus and Lenovo have all gone Intel for their Android Tablets
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've been wondering this for a long time myself. Even the fact that the company was steered away from Meego for (at the time) a less functional OS like Windows Phone (damned thing didn't have a twitter app and Meego came with one...) by an ex exec who could potentially benefit from the migration of Nokia's devices to Microsoft OS(if he had options). Such a shame. Meego was revolutionary and is still imo the most intu…
Tried looking into Sailfish but it is a poor replica.

Tesco Hudl2 8-inch tablet, popular in the UK. Battery life is fairly dismal, from personal experience.
And a dozen or so tablets in the Chinese market, few of which reach 'our' shores.
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.
