Nokia Planning to launch new tablets and hybrid smartphones

Nokia Chairman Jorma Ollila has told shareholders that Nokia will be launching a number of tablets and hybrid smartphones. No date was given for the launch of the new devices.

Ollila will be stepping down after an amazing 27 years at Nokia , due to Nokia's bad performance in recent times,told the Financial Times that Nokia had been too slow at the start of the smartphone revolution, but said the combination of new products and Nokia services would help.



Nokia is widely expected to unveil its first tablet computer later this year when Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system becomes available.

The promise was made ahead of a meeting with shareholders today and the pressure of the people investing in Nokia must have pressured the official, who confirmed tablets and “hybrid smart mobile devices”. The latter could mean that the Finns may even consider a smartablet with a 5 inch display, which would be very cool, coming from Nokia. They were at the top of their game during the Communicator Series craze and now they could take that experience and borrow some business features from the Dell Streak and Samsung Galaxy Note.
