Re: Do we have a Nokia Internet Tablet in waiting? Tabco
 
How about this:

some Maemo employers and CTO has "leaved" Nokia for "personal reasons" lets say this is just smoke and with help of Nokia they have started a new company under Nokia. would that be stategic good for Nokia in longer run? that way the new company has no direct connection to Microsoft and they can still continue invesment on R&D "future disruptions". Isnt this often what happens with companys with big troubles? some kind of "split"?

so what they actually is doing is moving future disruption to the new company?

Maybe I am way of and too optimistic for once :/ just my......

I don't think shareholders would like to be deceived in such ways...

Starting to really think this is WeTab. Just wonder if they will alter the ratings like they had once done in the past.

To the average American, they don't know WeTab nor MeeGo. And with folks like JooJoo out of the picture for the most part, I doubt it's a Nokia spin-off (too little time and no announcements). Vizio, Acer, Asus, Motorola have gone the Android route. And there's no other MeeGo handset or tablet announced - there's two MeeGo netbook form factor announcements, not tablet - let's see how this plays out.

I strongly hope in:
7" form factor
full linux stack
full set of sensors
host/guest/otg usb
stereo loudspeakers

(Well maybe some chinese is already doing this. I might as well have a trip at Shenzen and do some shopping)

Also.. it needs to have a porn accelerator if it hopes to be successful. NEED... FASTER... PORN! ;)

This has probably been here many times but at least here in Finland Nokia has said many times that they are helping their emplyoees who are forced to leave the company by e.g. giving them Nokia's patents to start new companies. It could be that TabCo is something like that.

I'd like TabCo to be a Meego-tablet from Nokia, though. It would at least give some hope for the future to Nokia not completely become a WP-house.

The CEO having rubik´s cube since 1962 in a earlier post on twitter, makes me think 3 things:
1. They´re not talking of the actual Rubik´s Cube toy, but....
Either:
2. They are referring to a building, famous locally, shaped like a Cube called, built or designed by a mr. Rubik/Rubick
or
3. The mathematical theory behind the Rubik´s cube and where it comes from.


wait.. not sure if this wasn't mentioned here before but doens't "catalyst of the pog fad in early 90's" seem like an obvious reference to bringing icon grid UI for cellphones to the masses, like Nokia did?
