[starts hitting you with his hat] SHHhhhhh!!!!

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

Tell us more Dan... ;)

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

Shh! He won't announce or ship his fancy, new tablet until he's sure the billions of replacement styluses and kickstands his factories have been cranking out for the past year will be readily available in every corner store worldwide at launch.

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

Also.. extra parts of all kinds. My engineers tell me that includes a super-secret replaceable fuel cell! You will need to replace all your own parts. Downside: You may instantly get an advanced cancer just from opening the unit up. Upside: You'll LOVE this device for the rest of your life. ;)

Check the section "With WHOIS Privacy". Familiar P.O. Box, eh?

I think TabCo has nothing to do with Nokia. Must be the second JooJoo, because this just can't be overlooked:

Best view at around 16 sec. Really thin bezels at top and sides if that's what its like.

Intel itself?

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

A stab in the dark.

The UI feels like http://www.firstelse.com to me. Especially with those fancy half circles.
They canceled their phone device but i think they are licensing the OS.

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

Seems like somebody else got same thought. ;)

Can't say it looks like anything Nokia related. Still could be MeeGo.

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

good link!!! seems very close...

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

Well if its nokia then it will run Microsoft WIndows Tablet => not for me :/

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

seems not Meego:/

Someone asked on facebook "r recent video was really awesome...

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

"something else"? That's a dead giveaway...

Nice job guys, I too think you've cracked it.

I just hope that ui is transplanted onto a sane OS. I'm not too crazy if it's hp that's behind TabCo... hp hasn't done well on the mobile space, like ever.

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

The constant talking about Rubik’s Cubes reminds me of these oldish Meego videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNMPYpHovjk

And what tablet is this "MeeGo synthesizer" dude using? He's already working on N9 version too and has demonstrated it on N950.

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

I bet you can get a clue by the tags of the video ;D

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

Clue taken :D Thanks for the hint.

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

Someone at mynokiablog said that the video was originally named "The Grid teaser" at youtube, then removed and back with the current name.
If that is true Fusion Garage is almost confirmed...

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

HP? They already has a great Linux OS in form of webos. EVen if its still a "hackerOS" HP:s fokus is on WebOS.

first else is limo compliant, whatever that means.

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

It's the new Commodore 64 tablet!

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

Don't think it's Else because of the Anna-looking icons with the squares with rounded edges. (Found in the "sneak-peek" video they posted)

But I did see the half-circle design elements of Else and they seem more than capable of pulling this off.

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

Answer me this... could Fusion Garage have built a MeeGo based tablet with a new UI based on technology that we've seen, but not for quite some time?

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

http://www.firstelse.com & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z1bwFD9bug "built from the ground up".... it´s Else´s UI for sure

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

Please join us on Monday, August 15 at 9 a.m. (PT) as the man behind TabCo shows you the tablet you’ve been waiting for.

We promise, nothing will be left untold.

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

They seem less obsessed with having a proprietary framework than they used to be, but they are pretty much as anti-community as you can get without being totally closed source.

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

And they have mostly shitty handsets. I thought that clamshell fad was mostly US some years ago, but it seems JP is crazy 'bout that too.

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

Japan has always been big on clamshells. Mostly, it seems that's what is preferred by the carriers so that's what gets made. Western-style smartphones are just catching on, as they're finally reaching the diversity that Japanese phones (which have always way too smart and exceedingly locked down and crippled) have had for some time now.

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

Looking pretty strongly like Else-derived UI, but backed by a big co. IMO.

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

It has to be different since their original phone UI was designed around one hand thumb usage and i don't see how they could make it work for a tablet.

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

Are you Tabco?

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

You can have two wheels. One for each thumb.

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

I hope they have more to it than just the circular menus. Innovative apps switchings, window/widgets and whatnot.

Otherwise they'll just be known as concentric hell.

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

I thought it was agreed that I was Tabco? ;) Wow... what a fickle company, then! CEO's are getting swapped out about as quick as Nokia! ...waaaaaaaitaminit... ;)

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

I just had the funniest idea: What if I called a press event and said that I really am Tabco, pointed out that we're still not ready but you'll be excited... SOON! And left it at that. Would the real Tabco then stand up and admit to who they are? ;)

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

The proper answer to "Are you TabCo" is "Yes son, now we are a family again." Though I am not aware if there is a "Tab Sphere."

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

I triple dog dare you.

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

What are they going to do? Sue? Who would sue me? AHHA! GOTCHA! ;)

OMG I love the spheres... I love anything Portal 2!!

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

You and gerbick might have agreed, but not me. :D

But if you provide open source drivers I don't mind calling you a CEO.
