Nokia CEO: Our tablet will take a "uniquely Nokia prospective"

In a recent interview with Finnish news outlet YLE, Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop discussed the company’s strategy for approaching the already crowded tablet market. “There are now over 200 different tablets on the marketplace, only one of them is doing really well,” Elop said. “And, my challenge to the team is I don’t want to be the 201st tablet on the market that you can’t tell from all of the others. We have to take a uniquely Nokia prospective.” Elop added that Nokia could work with Microsoft and take advantage of its software for a Windows-based tablet, but also said that the firm could “do things with some of the other software assets that we have.” Early reports have suggested that Nokia may exclude Microsoft from its tablet plans altogether, and that it may still launch a MeeGo powered device.

    “Uniquely Nokia Prospective?” – Well they are already 2 years behind current technology, so they are on the same pace that drove Symbian into the ground.

    Meego is really Powerful os. It might succeed. But if it runs symbian… God, help them.

    Meaning that it will fall apart almost as fast as Nokia drops support for it?

    Nokia needs to beat the competition by getting real people to try out their tablet and compare it to an iPad 2, Xoom, Playbook, and then they will see where they need improvement. This is how they will grow and keep up with the competition, but if they don’t do this, they will go out of business. Because no one wants a tablet that would lose against others 2 years ago.

    I will buy WP7 on Nokia by the time they launch WP7 will have Multi Tasking and all other features that iphone and Android has. Apps count will eventually catch to a decent number in a year or two. Microsoft has to launch good devices. At this point Samsung Focus is the best device in the Market. HTC WP7 phone are brick phones. Nokia should come up with some revolutionary handsets. Look are Samsung Galaxy II line.

    Doing something unique is good. Doing something uniquely Nokia is bad..

    Using Android OS would be a much better choice than Symbian. They need a leader that sees this..

    Nokia losing market share in the phone market decide to enter the computer market? Who the hell is in charge there? They do phones, they used to be amazing at it but they lost either focus or talent.
    So now they should re-focus on getting back to being amazing at phones rather than entering a market (computers) where most of the major competitors have a good 20 years start on them.
    Someone is being paid a fortune to lead this excellent company down a blind alley, staggering incompetence.
