In the interview he says a tablet is just a square device and cant be differentiated from any other in many ways ... well

firstly the OS itself is the biggest differentiator. I mean every laptop is the same but the OS makes it behave differently (like with Windows, OS X or Linux flavour).

I dont see how a smartphone is also that much differentaited - its just a rectangular block with so much of combinations possible only - so if Nokia can do smartphones I cant believe it cant do a tablet and differentiate itself from any other manufacturer.

Yes I do agree Nokia may want to focus at this point and be successfull in a smaller portfolio, but hardware and software differentiation is certainly not the reason for dumping the tablet. From what I have seen MeeGo Tablet OS itself makes big difference from the other tablets in the market.
