Hi Nandroid,

I've moved this thread to the Discussions and Feedback section.

Also, feel free to add a bit of background info in your OP for a bit of context on the article

OK Toby

Should I just copy/paste?

Is that OK?

Nokia is launching an Android-powered tablet, marking the Finnish company's return to consumer electronics.
The surprise launch pits the firm against Microsoft, which completed its takeover of Nokia's previous mobile-devices business in April.
The N1 tablet is due to go on sale in China towards the start of 2015, ahead of other countries.
Nokia said it was not making the device itself, but had licensed its brand, design and software to a third-party.
Taiwanese manufacture Foxconn is the licensee.
"This is a great product for Nokia fans and everyone who has not found the right Android tablet yet," said Sebastian Nystrom, head of products at Nokia Technologies, who announced the product at the Slush technology conference in Helsinki.
One company watcher was startled by the move.

Hey there,

You could do 2 things;

- Provide a small exert from the page to provide some context in quote marks.

OR

- Write your thoughts on the article and device in a few sentences.

Ideally, do both. The community is a great place to discuss upcoming news and devices and more context always helps the flow of conversation.

Hope that helps.

It's possible some will be put off as the tablet is purported to resemble the iPad Mini and we all know some simply don't like Apple.

I'm sure Microsoft will be watching closely too to see if this directly competes with their own releases.

I for one hope Nokia do recover sufficiently to stand on their own feet again , and go on to strengthen their footing in the market place.

Hi @Anonymous  You seem very firm in your answer No you wouldn't be getting one of these tablets? Could I ask either you or @jonsie (also clearly no) why this would be?

I would really like to know. I am considering tablets for family presents next year..and I need to make a short list..?
