Nokia meego device : phone or tablet
 
Hi. What do you think will be the next Nokia meego device, a phone or a tablet?
I start to think that it might be a tablet , since every other competitor has one, plus they said they will go with windows phone on the phone side, however windows 8 tablets are not gone come until middle 2012.
Another thing is that a lot of linux descktop software can be much easy ported to a tablet(large screen) than on a phone.

What do you think? please vote

what about the n950, mentioned by nokia cto green as a successor of the n900? so if he says the truth and nokia is not rolling everything back again it should be a phone. ;)

Given the above options, it will probably be a Phablet with Tone capabilities.

depends on what you mean by tablet. Many people consider N900 both a tablet and a phone.

Or do you mean "ipad form-factor"?

It'll be a Phone+Laptop+Tablet combo like the Atrix... it'll be a PHLABLET ;)
Maybe it'll support cellphone towers AND satellite as a phone. It'll be a CELLULITE PHLAB!

This may be a slip, but this seems to be the first time someone has said "phone" rather than "device". Of course, this is not an official announcement.

I also spotted this one, where explicitely had been said that "a meego phone will be released" and the writer claims to be a Nokia employee at the moment of writing.

Maybe a hard-drive based cellphone (one of those IBM postage sized CompactFlash hard drive deals) with gigs and gigs of space.. and a guaranteed "Latest Ovi Mapping" system that's always up-to-date.. with a cute markety smart AI for the user interface... could call it something witty like a Braniac

They might call it the Nokia GigaLOManiac
