Nokia tablet to compete with iPad?
Question: Would you buy a Nokia tablet? Absolutely, but on one proviso, that it is better than everything out there. And when we say everything we ofcourse mean the iPad.
Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia has said as much about the iPad too.
“Our team right now is assessing what’s the right tablet strategy for Nokia—how does that fit in? I will tell you this that’s most important: There are now over 200 different tablets on the marketplace. Only one of them is doing really well. And my challenge to the team is: I don’t want to be the 201st tablet on the market that you can’t tell from all of the others.”
We like the way Nokia has kept its powder dry and waited for the market to mature. But if the Finish gaunt is going to produce a tablet that can compete with the iPad as well as beat all the other 200 tablets from LG, Samsung etc who have leapt on the bandwagon, what operating system are they going to use?
Stephen Elop responded:
“We have a number of options in the tablet computing space given the changing strategy that we have. For example, we could take advantage of Microsoft technology and software and build a Windows-oriented tablet, or we could do things with some of the other software assets that we have.
We’d love to see a Microsoft tablet on Nokia hardware. Nokia phones were in everyones pockets in the early 2000s, if they really do take on the tablet market, maybe everyone who is beginning to get sick of Apple will now place them in the briefcases too.
Stephen Elop went on, “We have to take a uniquely Nokia perspective, and so the teams are working very hard on something that would be differentiating relative to everything else that’s going on in the market.”
We will keep you updated on the Nokia Tablet – we personally can’t wait and though there may not be 1000s of people queuing for it all the way round the block, like the freaks that purchase Apple products, we most certainly will be camping out in Helsinki for the launch.
