I didn't, either. Could you post a picture or two of what it looks like? ;)

Well, I would imagine them referring to something like this:

Or then take the mockup and slide the rows together so that there's no empty areas. Pretty basic stuff.

But if it would make sense, everybody would be doing it. :)

What the heck is this? He said "never say never, we are looking into it". Doesn't sound like announcement to me.

Re: Where is Nokia - no announcement no product - still in hibernation

If the next tablet is bigger than the N810 then count me out. If I want a netbook I'll buy one from another manufacturer for probably much cheaper.. The size is the primary reason I still carry my N810 around, if it were any larger and I needed a bag to carry it, I wouldn't.

Re: Where is Nokia - no announcement no product - still in hibernation

It could be a bit larger, as in 5" screen with less filling around it, and still be a carry-around tablet :-)

Agreed. This has to be a jeans-pocket device for me.

Do you mean June 21st, the Summer Solstice? Midsummer Night?

I know what this Daddy's getting for Father's Day ;)

Some basic info.

The new tablet is expect around Father's day. Keeyp track of when the prior tablets were released and the new one is expected around the same time.

The tablet will be bigger than the current N810 and have direct SIM Card/GSM Support. Nokia don't want the tablets to compete against the mobile (N97) segments. So they're going to make it less pocketable and more like a PC. (People will buy the tablet and their phones)

Buttons/keypad will improve and the new tablets will come in variations. Instead of a single say N810 model. They will have multiple models with different CPU, RAM and HD at various price - like a PC.

You can check out recent Nokia news/press and see that their CEO is announcing that they are going into the PC industry. The information aligns with Nokia computing efforts.

For the past few years, Nokia have been using 770, 800 and 810 users/programers to test out the product and prepare them to built the real tablet expect this summer.

And the news is this time they're "serious", the prior tablets were release in small batch production with no intent to make money. This time they're manufacturing in them for the masses.

These S60 user events you speak of, do they smoke them funny looking cigarettes there? :cool:

This part^ does not make any sense to me. The bit about it being built for the masses is doubtful too, IMHO. :)

Nokia has captured 100% of the market... They created it.

(A long battery life, handheld, electronic device that can browse the internet, and by design is 90% community supported.)

Re: Where is Nokia - no announcement no product - still in hibernation

Oh, I want to believe it so bad, but my bogosity meter keeps tripping. I can't help but think that Nokia dude would be just a little more concerned about keeping his job...

A larger (i.e., N800 or a hair larger, with more nearly fullscreen N810ish design, but with the DPAD!), more PC-competing device would make me really happy. But there's no need to fight pocketability here, and I'm sure the folks behind this alleged decision realize that. The N810 is far bigger than most phones already, and I think anyone who would get a full-size (Navigator/N97 class) smartphone and a larger tablet would get them both anyway -- they obviously have enough money and like their tech toys. I think people trying to fill specific needs would almost always choose a big, powerful, usable smartphone alone, or a tablet with an equally capable, but more compact (and slightly less convenient in use) smartphone, but not two big qwerty machines.
