Nokia has long been charming us with its vast and diverse range of mobile handsets. The Finnish communications company has even started making inroads in the extremely competitive smartphone segment after an initial no-show, a fact that even Apple boss Steve Jobs acknowledges when he said its Nokia that might pose the biggest challenge to Apple’s dominion in the smartphone segment.
However, the Apple boss might have another reason to worry soon as the handset maker is also believed to be in the process of developing a tablet PC and it is targeting none other than the iPad.
“We are always eyeing what I would call the ‘neighbouring businesses’ to see if it would make sense for us to enter it,” said Niklas Savander, executive vice president and general manager of markets at Nokia.
The device what many believe will take forward Nokia’s tablet dreams is the Z500 and is in news right now after a Nokia insider, Eldar Murtazin tweeted: “Nokia aren’t happy with price/features.” This also is some sort of a confirmation of the device that was rumored to be in development ever since the iPad had entered markets and was all believed to be ready by fall of this year.
That’s not all since the Z500 also came to be seen at Nokia’s own Ovi Store, further fueling hopes of the tablet that’s expected to run Intel’s MeeGo operating system. The leak has since long been plugged though not before letting us have a sneak peek of the things to come from the Nokia camp.
With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
