“Let’s not forget that Windows RT is REALLY clunky right now, although I haven’t used a RT tab to be honest…”
and that shows! What I been using RT tabled… I cannot complain. It delivers pretty much like expected. Only actual con with RT is it’s “enterprise sideloading product key” cost as keys seems to be sold at packs of 100 ($3,000 per 100).

I should have added that Nokia should include a cellular and GPS.

Judging by the launch of the Surface Pro in North America. Yes Nokia get a Pro tablet out as soon as possible. Make it as sexy as the Surface but with better components.

offtop: Linux is competes in PC and supercomputing also. However as it is free software there is a often mistake when one try to compare sold windows to Linuxes which are downloaded freely and hence not registered in the same way. Question is how to use trends, owned experiences and customers enthusiasm, not how to act against them IMHO.

Nokia ought to reconsider use MeeGo or better Sailfish in future tablet, as: (1) there is more and more enthusiasts of this solution; (2) this is matured solution already; (3) Nokia has got experiences in this; (4) there is huge demand on the market; (5) last but not least: I and some other single and small but paying customers ask for this. (6) I have windows tablet from Microsoft like Surface, and I have plenty, plenty of Android tablets from many others – hence I don’t need neither windows nor android tablet from Nokia IMHO, as this gives me no added value. The Nokia logo is not enough.

Hmm, I think Nokia should release a tablet but not just one but 2, one for RT and one for W8 Pro.
Now hold your horses about the price of a W8 pro, the main target for the pro is not reqular consumers but rather business consumers. It could be a huge victory for Nokia and Microsoft if they could get businesses exited about W8 and it would most likely boost theyr WP8 device sales as well.

The RT would be targeted to consumers like you and me, and given Nokias reputation with WP8 I really think they could attract a lot of people and give Windows RT the push that the OS needs to succeed. What Microsoft and Nokia needs to do (if Nokia releases an RT tab to begin with…) is get the marketing straight. I mean, I see Windows 8 adverts everywhere but the adverts are not saying anything, the message is showing the tiles but why not tell what the tiles actually do?

Failure adverts like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlX7vdYgF04 and many others are not serving any real purpose they only hurt the ecosystem.

Take a look at simple working advert that serves a real purpose by informing the customers about its abillities: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rvyp4KzShA

I’d love for Nokia to release a tablet, or even two, 7″ and ~10″ ( there *are* use cases for both ), but I’m wondering if they are holding back for the Blue update, which is supposed to add more resolutions and scaling down to 7″.

The lag that some have encountered was mostly patched out ( I have a Surface ), but some of it is down to the use of Tegra 3. The Snapdragon RT devices have been shown to be much more fluid.

I totally understand why Nokia have gone with Microsoft . It’s all about the Ecosystem and the 1 advantage Microsoft have over ios and android is that now its all linked in with your normal pc, tablet, wp8, is that no matter what manufacture it offers almost same experience,hell I am typing this on my xbox360 browser with 920 as smart glass

Taking a long term view. Mobile phones do more and more. Computer sales are down. Laptop sales are going down. The consumer is downsizing to hand held devices. Linux competes with Windows, not on the desktop PC, but from the smaller size up mobile phone and tablet. This is where we are right now. If Nokia make phones, then they are giving away the computer market to other manufacturers.

A tablet does not have to have the best camera. It is a good screen and a usable device that can become a computer, starting with a 7 inch screen (or 5 inch, or 6 inch)

Market differentiation. Sculpted glass. Dual sided with E ink display
