We just happened to stumble upon a brilliantly
made design of a Nokia tablet running Windows 8 and we thought, why not
gaze through the crystal ball. We couldn't stop wondering about what
could happen if this tablet did come into existence in the near future.
But wait, before we get our thinking hats on, we’ll mention an important
development. As reported by My Nokia Blog, an interesting article was spotted in a Finnish newspaper “Kauppalehti Optio” that
spoke about Nokia working on a revolutionary new device. Could be a
phone, could be a tablet, could be anything. But here’s what the article
spoke about. Basically, Nokia Design Chief, Marko Ahtisaari has been
working in full swing on Nokia’s upcoming revolutionary new device (or
technology) that could change the way user interfaces currently exist.
Drool!
With this device, "the user does not need to bend down and push their finger on the screen.”
Are we seeing augmented reality? Are we seeing something similar to
Sony’s floatation touch technology? Details are too crude to signify
anything substantial, but here’s what he had to say about Apple’s iPhone
and iPad design. He mentioned that they have been poorly designed. He
also likened them to a poorly designed house where the road from the
kitchen into the dining room is always going through the front door.
Come to think of it, he’s probably talking about switching between apps
and multitasking out here. He also mentioned that Android and Symbian
were somewhat like doll houses, which means that you have your own
furniture and you can use only that. As compared to that a WP7 interface
is more natural.
While he may be right in his own regard, we would love to see a
design like this in the near future. A brilliant polycarbonate outer
shell, a crazy fluid UI, Microsoft Office integration and probably a lot
more, would definitely make this tablet something worthy enough to look
out for. A tablet by Nokia is definitely in the pipeline. Whether it’s
going to be like this, isn’t something that we are really sure of right
now. But since its all speculation, why not choose what you would want
to see in Nokia’s next tablet! Let us know in the comments section
below.
