Nokia makes the comeback....launches N1..

Look for the all new Nokia N1 tablet

If you are die hard Nokia fan, this is really going to rejoice you. After Nokia's acquisition by Microsoft in April 2014, it was considered that its the end of Nokia's mobile device legacy. But the company has now decided to make a bigger jump in the market and the Finland's Mobile giant is back again and bigger this time.

The company recently shocked the world by announcing its comeback in the smartphone world with the launch of its all new tablet N1. Having sold off its handset business to Microsoft, Nokia gets into the tablet game with the new N1 and this time the company is playing with Android. Nokia's head of products business, Sebastian Nystrom, revealed the new direction at Slush 2014, an event for startups and technology companies held on Nokia's home turf in Helsinki this week. Having sold off the hardware manufacturing division, Nokia has licensed and partnered with Chinese manufacturer Foxconn to build and distribute the N1

"The world doesn't need yet another tablet," Nystrom said, claiming the N1 is for "anyone who hasn't found the right Android tablet yet". The company has decided to launch the tab first in the Chinese market before Chinese New Year on 19th Feb.

Specifications:
Talking of specifications The N1 is encased in a 6.9mm thick one-piece aluminium frame, in either dark grey or silver which, it must be said, looks distinctly similar to Apple's iPad Mini 3. It has an 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 5-megapixel snapper on the front, with 32GB of storage for apps, snaps, music and movies. The looks as disclosed by the company are awesomely good. One of the most interesting things about the tablet is that it's one of the first devices to boast a USB Type-C socket -- that's a reversible USB port so you can stick the plug in either way round. Inside is a 2.4GHz Intel Atom quad-core processor. It's a 64-bit chip, which is welcome and unusual for an Android device. Intel said late Monday that it plans to combine its PC unit with its struggling mobile chip division.

Concluding in nutshell the features are:

• Screen size: 7.9 inch
• Resolution:2,048 x 1,536 (326ppi)
• Weight: 318g
• Camera: 8 MP
• Secondary Camera: 5 MP
• Memory Supported: 32 GB
• Proccessor: 2.4GHz Intel Atom quad-core processor

Nystrom also announced that Nokia's Android launcher, Z Launcher, will be free on Google Play for Android devices from today. The N1 runs on the latest version of Android, known as Lollipop, but the Z Launcher forms the home screen. A launcher takes over your home screen and grid of apps, giving you a customised experience beyond the basic Android layout. Z Launcher is designed to customise the look of your phone by learning your habits and other indicators such as where you are, what time it is and what you're doing. It also lets you search for apps by scribbling the first letter of the app's name on the screen with your finger.

"Microsoft will definitely be pleased that it has accelerated away from the Nokia brand as quickly as it has,". Now Microsoft needs to quickly establish Microsoft devices in their own right before this new Nokia tablet confuses customers".
