The only thing missing is the Apple logo (and iOS).

It looks like a big phone.

Still not comfortable with 'tablet' yet.

I do wonder if part of their thinking was 'maybe people will buy it thinking it is an iPad'.....

It's quite sad what's happened to Nokia. Same as Palm. Perhaps the inevitable legal battle over this design is their way of going out with a bang.

I'm amazed it's not running Windows Phone. Looks nice though.

WTF is that last adapter, on the right in the final image?

I don't blame them - there are only so many ways you can put a flat screen in a case.

This is Nokia's own effort. Looks like MS forgot to add a clause in their contract somewhere ๐Ÿ™‚

I know, it's logical and descriptive.
Still get a mental image of a packet of Anadin whenever I hear the word though.

I'm just surprised they're happy to copy so much detail and not try and at least look a bit different. After all, tablets is a very competitive market with many 'me too' products.

And the subcontractor is Foxconn, so it'll be easier for them to use their existing process line to build it. It's all about the bottom line!
