Just months after selling its ailing handsets unit to Microsoft, the Finnish company is launching a tablet.
The
new offering operates Android instead of the Windows software that
Nokia adopted on its cellphones when it started a strategic partnership
with Microsoft in 2011.
The 7.9-inch N1 tablet will first be
available in China in the first quarter of 2015 with an approximate
price tag of $250, before being introduced to other markets.
Sebastian
Nystrom from Nokia's technologies unit said Tuesday that the former
global mobile phone leader was "pleased to bring the Nokia brand back
into consumers' hands."
Nokia's earnings have improved since its
$7.2 billion sale of its handset unit to Microsoft. The slimmed-down
company has three remaining operations: networks, mapping and software.
