Although none of its previous attempts at cracking the tablet market have been met with success, Rodman Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar piped up today and claimed that Nokia is once again going to try to break into the now-burgeoning market. So far there’s nothing in the way of evidence to support his claims, but we don’t think we need to look much further than the fact Nokia and Intel recently merged Maemo with Mobilin to create MeeGo to see that the chances of Nokia once again putting a tablet on store shelves are pretty good.

   • I’m waiting to see if the “its an over grown N95″ (or some other Nokia phone) jokes pop up.

     Oh I forgot, its not Apple, so the crowd here will be well behaved towards Nokia.

     • Thats because Nokia is not quite as arrogant or douchey as apple.

     • if it turns out to be an overgrown n95, it will be called an overgrown n95.
       the ipad is an overgrown ipod touch, so it is called an overgrown ipod touch.

6. I remember when I was looking around for such a device, choosing between an iPod Touch and the N810. The I made the mistake of going for an iPod Touch I feel. I think the problem with Nokia is they don’t push their products here in the NA, so they get poor recognition for their devices. Now, because of that Apple, has totally taken that advantage and solidified their name around the world, not just in one region, even taking on Nokia on their home turf.
