Nokia is a great example of a company that once dominated its niche and then slowly slipped away from the top. Once the biggest phone manufacturer in the world, Nokia now has partnered with Microsoft in a quest to regain its long lost position (see our Nokia coverage here).The partnership with Microsoft already brought the Lumia 710 and 800 headsets, with Windows Phone 7, and apparently also a Windows 8 tablet is in works at this point, which for the first time Nokia confirmed officially th...
I usually don't write about smartphones on AllTouchTablet, but I believe Nokia N9 deserves some attention, being the first 'serious' MeeGo powered device to hit the market. Hope it won't be the last, as Nokia is known to have partnered with Microsoft and announced Windows Phone 7 headsets are coming at the end of this year.Anyway, let's focus on the Nokia N9, currently the flagship of the Finnish company, a 3.9 inch smartphone that features an all-touch interface, with no buttons on the fron...
We've been talking about the possibility of Nokia making a tablet since last year, but up until now nothing official has ever come up the company's spokesmen and who else is most entitled to comment on Nokia's development plans that it's CEO, Stephen Elop. He recently declared that Nokia is surely taking aim at the tablet niche, but it doesn't want to be just another player as there are around 200 models of tablets on market today and from them only one is really successful (hint: it starts...
When I think about Nokia I'm always sad, as I've been a fan of their smartphones for a long time. But the word I want to emphasize here is 'was'. Unfortunately, Nokia didn't managed to build a good phone in years, one that can compete with the best from Apple and Android. Add to this their awkward Symbian operating system and you have a sure recipe for disaster, which actually happened, forcing Nokia to partner with Microsoft, in a multi billion dollars move to set the Finnish company back on tr...
Today's IT news comes from Nokia, but not this one. It's the one about the Finnish company ditching Symbian as their mobile operating system and switching to Microsoft, in a partnership which allows Nokia to customize Windows Phone 7 to suit their needs. It's an advantage that definitely could put Nokia on the table again as a mobile provider (services and devices). This could be also a good opportunity for Microsoft to offer better services through its Windows Phone 7 (think of Nokia Maps, one ...
A Nokia tablet isn't something we haven't imagined yet. We've actually told you a few rumors about the possibility. And considering RIM, Samsung and Motorola are headset manufacturers who ventured in the tablet market it's normal to believe that the biggest headset manufacturer in the world would want a slice of the pie.Apparently Digitimes heard about a rumor which points towards Nokia being on the list of Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet partners with Google and it may be capable of launching ...
One big player in the mobile industry, Nokia, has yet to announce something about its plans to enter the tablet market. Till now there were only rumors, which we've told you about already. So we still don't know anything for sure, except the fact that Nokia is already ditching Maemo, used only in Nokia N900 about two years ago (with no followup product). The winner is Intel's MeeGo platform, developed in close cooperation with Nokia, which will take over netbooks and tablets next year (it you ar...
It's clear that touch interfaces are slowly taking over consumer's preferences, but big touchscreens are still a rare thing (and expensive altogether), plus it takes years to change every gadget in your house to a new one, that is till now, as Nokia showcased its Plug and Touch technology on a Nokia N8. The technology woks simply like this: you plug your HDMI cable into the N8 and a display of your choice, launch the Push and Touch program and that's it, the 12 megapixel camera records where you...
Nokia is one of the few big names that didn't announced anything official yet about their plans concerning tablets. That doesn't mean they're not 'cooking' something, as Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia's chief of Mobile Solutions, might just have admitted the Finnish company is working on a touch tablet powered by MeeGo Tablet Edition OS, during an interview with Wall Street Journal.His exact words were: "Due to the spread of cloud computing and new advances in electronics and network technology, mobi...
If you remember the first Internet tablet, you know Nokia was the one to pioneer them, but because technology then was not what we're used to now, they didn't managed to get a fair market share or too much consumer interest for them. Now that tablets have caught enough consumer attention it seems fair to me to assume that Nokia wants to be back in the game (as we've speculated earlier). Now it seems that they've also got some plans to revive their N-Gage gaming platform by building a touch table...
