Nokia Plans New Tablet
Nokia is working on a new tablet device that will launch by the end of the year.
Following the launch of Apple's much-hyped iPad, a number of other companies are preparing to roll out competing products. According to an analyst, one of those companies is Nokia, which is said to be working on a new tablet device that will launch by the end of the year.
Nokia teamed up with Intel in an effort to build an industry-standard Linux platform called Meego that will work across a wide range of mobile form factors and support both the ARM and x86 architectures.
Nokia has already said that it aims to deliver MeeGo-based devices by the end of the year. According to sources cited in a Reuters article, Nokia's MeeGo lineup could include an Internet tablet that is intended to compete with the iPad.
Nokia has not confirmed plans for a tablet, so it's possible that it's just conjecture by the analysts. Based on supply chain considerations, the analysts believe that Nokia is aiming to get a tablet device on the shelves by the end of October so that it can meet holiday shopping demand.
