Is Nokia World where they announce the one supposed Meego handset for this year, or is NvyUs talking about a different phone? That is, is Nokia releasing not even one pure Meego device this year?

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.

as meego not only Nokia's, you shouldn't care that much, 'cause there would be a lot of other vendors releasing tablets with meego as if it would be successful

Damn, I remember the N800 and N810 were so much different from any other handheld tablet, so why cant Nokia differentiate with a tablet/slate type of device ? I am really miffed at this rationale that he spoke about differentiation (rather the lack of).

True ... but Nokia made good hardware and I liked that.
We need a big player behind Meego. Intel is one but I don't trust them to come out with a good consumer device. They are better playing behind the scenes on the chipsets level.

Not sure if Nokia can pull it off, but I would try to bring a family of devices to market, not single ones. Each device runs Meego, and a similar (if not identical) UI:

11/2010: N9 (smartphone, no keyboard, 4 inch screen, Meego)
01/2011: N9 Tablet (Tablet, 7 inch screen Meego)
03/2011: N9k (smartphone, keyboard, 4 inch screen)
05/2011: N9 mini (3 inch screen)

Nokia would have a devices with similar features across a wide range of screen sizes, would stay in the tech news for a year, and could really gain momentum re developers if the family proves successful.

Does it really matter if Nokia comes out with a tablet? I mean, there's been some tablets already shown, running the Intel version of MeeGo.

I personally welcome any MeeGo tablet as long as it was built well.

Well it matters when we start talking about the software that will be build around the device. Nokia is tied to make all of it's current and future services for MeeGo. Somebody like Acer isn't.
But like i already said in previous page if Nokia isn't going to announce tablet this year i got no problems to go for some other manufacturer as long as it gathers big enough userbase.

Pretty ambitious plan there, let's just hope by the time the n9 mini is released the n9 and n9k users won't have been used as beta testers.

Althoug they could release them a little sooner like how sony did with x10 mini and mini pro.
