The video they show us mocks existing tablet devices - too big to fit in back-pocket.
So this device must fit in the back pocket.

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

How about a projector and possably a hologram cube? ;)

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

Hmm rubik's cube....

Maybe the tablet is square shaped, has magnetized sides and NFC technology.

6 of them can be effortlessly assembled to be a digital rubik's cube.

That package will sell at $1974.00 per set.

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

its not Nokia but maybe people who has dropped of Nokia cause they dislike Nokias decissions............

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

And we can buy it and give it to our friend(s) as a good awkward gift.

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

Rubik's cube with its rotating facelets makes me think to one of those abandoned UIs for Meego, which allowed you to scroll horizontally (arguments like photos, email, messages, bookmarks etc.) and vertically for single items.
This is a concept I liked very much.

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

Exactly!!!!! In fact when it came out, I felt the Rubik's cube feeling....

Now backwards, this could get quite close....

maybe intel's own meego tablet.... any more speculation :p??

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

Cool!

Although 2D projector that can be used to project to the white wall would be cool enough.

Imagine showing the movie in front of friends at the party... (+ magic nokia NFC speakers).

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

maybe glasses free 3d like nintendo 3ds.......a 3D gui would be interesting. Not sure how practical, but they'd sell a bazillion of them.....or not....

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

You can easily reformat your bricked tablet by peeling off and reapplying a few stickers.

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

Can you dig out the video?

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

Maybe this one?

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

Well, since in the video the "back pocket" is the size of an airport, I wouldn't call their tablet "pocketable" :mad:

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

I think the Rubik's cube is because when you receive the device, the UI is all over the place, and so you have to move it around and play with it for hours before you can have the UI that suits you.

Oh wait...
:)

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

isn't that the default UI for the generic Meego Tablet Edition? i doubt it's abandoned :)

This reminded me of the N900 Nokia "hackerbox".
I wouldn't mind this also end to a Maemo based device raising from puff of smoke. ;)

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

....well that was a direct answer there. :D
EDIT: Is it a official MeeGo facebook account?

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

I doubt that :D but I don't know. Do we have an offical meego account?

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

HP touchpad (webOS) will be released in european this week and I planed to buy one but now it seems I have to wait and see what the **** this new rumors is about :cool:

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

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

just 383 likes for TabCo even after all the marketing and hype :O

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

Not much to like at the moment unless you like to like the unknown.

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

hehe.... good one Dave!

anyway browsing through the facebook page you might stumble upon this post "Trying to sell your obsolete tablet? You’re in luck—we’ve put together a helpful guide to selling your tablet on eBay."

Jukka Eklund from Nokia replies to this asking "where, when and what"

Two things are clear
1. It is not Nokia
2. It is Meego....

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

given the cheap videos too, could be more of a silicon valley startup...

in fact the first video looks to depict a bunch of dudes who stumbled upon an new way to watch gay porn and say "aha"

BORING :D

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

I wanna play guess the conspiracy game too :P

I googled "in 1974 nokia" (with quotes) and found this PDF http://www.helsinki.fi/iehc2006/papers3/Oinas.pdf

Oy Nokia Ab Elektroniikka established a military radio telephone factory in Oulu in
1973 (see Figure 1). Civilian production of radiotelephones and other communication
equipment was promptly transferred to Oulu, because there were capacity and
government subsidiaries available. In October 1973 Nokia electronics production
employed approximately 200 people. Nokia established a new electronics factory in
Oulu in 1974. Nokia’s research and development stayed in Helsinki at the beginning,
but already in 1976 a Nokia production manager Aarne Soikkeli stated in Kaleva that
the University of Oulu has significance for educating people for the development.47
Later the University of Oulu was often named as the first “University of Nokia”.48

Hints towards nokia + "(and possibly the fact ithe company started in 1974)"?

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

Nokia was established in 1871. :)

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

Foxconn was founded in 1974, btw. :P

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

In Germany it is actually available directly from HP for already two weeks now (in stock, not pre-order!)

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

I know, i know :)

Just looking for Nokia/1974 references

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

I wonder: how difficult is it to take a tablet made for Ubuntu and Android and install Maemo on this? Here there is applications.

Then should Nokia/Intel pay for the fun, port it to Meego.

How depend is Maemo on the ARM architecture?

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

Intel has released 8080, and Motorola 6800 in 1974...

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

DGui updated his blog regarding TabCo here, here and here.
Btw, his guess (Nokia) was neither denied nor confirmed by now...so far all (most) guesses were at least commented in some more or less meaningless way ;-)

TabCo also posted a new blog entry.
Think there is at least one hint:

Now we know they are definitely not from the US :D, but rather from Europe I guess.

Btw, the term "Land of Innovation" was used before:

(Global company -> NO start-up!)

Small place called innovation? In Europe?
Finland (Nokia)?
Sweden (Nobel price)?
Germany (many inventions)?
(Well, doesn´t nearly every country call itself home of innovation??? :rolleyes:)

or is it

France (Disneyland)?
England (Harry Potter)?

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

England, Finland, Sweden ruled out


Germany, France ruled out

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

I refer you all to my blog: http://dgui.wordpress.com/2011/07/12...-who-are-they/ I see one of my posts was mentioned above. This new one details a list of possible companies behind it. Nokia is definitely. You'll also note that I was the one that figured out the Rubik's Cube on Twitter after I realised it had to be significant if they mention it twice. The hint actually points to two things, they said their CEO solved the cube at age 3, which is impossible due to him being to young if he was born in 1974, the RC was only released commercially in 1980. The hint is the Rubik's Cube and 3 years. 1974 actually refers to the birth of the RC, the Nokia N95, in late '09 or early '10 solved a Rubik's Cube using a specially built machine, it was 3 years old at the time. 1974 doesn't refer to Nokia in any way, it refers to the Cube, meaning age three was important. Thus the N95 solving the Rubik's Cube at age three is the answer to the hint.

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

these videos and stuff are really cheesy, but i still lol every now and then :P

could this not be Nokia? Maybe this is a Meego tablet but now that Elop is clearly not encouraging Meego at Nokia, the previous Meego tablet team broke off and are now more independent in an effort to escape Elops grip?

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

Disagreed...
How many pics from England, Finland, Sweden showing a blue sky with bright sun do you want me to show you? Besides that thought of the sun shining 24h through summer in Scandinavia?

Germany and France not small??? Check the globe and see how small they are related to other countries...

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

Thinking the time they wrote that it has been exceptionally sunny over here in Finland and it shines almost the whole day at this time of year. :)
Small place though was the most important as it closes USA out of this all.
