It'd be amazing if this was a step towards bringing their awesome Maemo designs back (like the highly praised N9), and not just becoming yet another Android manufacturer.

#122"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?
uh, even nexus devices only get two versions and then are abandoned. the one and S only got two revisions of a single version even
Uh, wrong. The Nexus 7 2012 launched with 4.1 and has seen upgrades to 4.2, 4.4 and now 5.0. The Nexus 4 also has had 3 major upgrades.

#123This is from the independent Nokia that makes HERE Maps, not from the division acquired by Microsoft.
This is what I've been wondering. Is there any source that this is the case?
Re: Nokia N1 Android Tablet Revealed
#124It's actually a Foxconn product with a license acquired for using the Nokia brand. Only the launcher software and the case design are by Nokia.
Yeah, a cursory glance at their marketing shows a bunch of Chinese market apps. I'm confident this is Foxconn's product.

#125Interesting to see firefox for android in the stock photos. Does anyone know if that is going to be the default browser?
Note that since it doesn't have Google Play, they can't use Chrome.

Yes like when Europe fights against Mittal when they close profitable steel factories or screw them with no investments and R&D, oh wait.
And your point is what exactly?
That the EU commission approved the MS / Nokia deal and usually don't do anything to protect these business practices.

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.
The biggest problem with all other stores is that they dont come pre-installed on the device.

#128Very 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.
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.
It's Microsoft Windows, I don't care what exactly is under the bonnet.

Do you find the Hudl2 any good other than the battery? Did you have a Hudl 1? If so, how does it compare? Also, what sort of battery life do you get?
Fantastic screen on the Hudl2, exceptionally sharp. Good snappy CPU and wife reporters that it plays HD films without breaking a sweat. But we usually have to charge it every night by when it has dropped to 30% capacity. Full to empty when watching films and browsing is less than 24 hours, sadly. Despite An enormous battery. Also very hard to root and charging sometimes stalls and requires a reboot to restart.
Thanks for the info. My mother-in-law has just bought one (despite our protestations) after she dropped her iPad (!) so we'll likely be inundated with calls on how to use it!
