Sebastian Nystrom, head of product business at Nokia Technologies, presents N1, Nokia’s new Android tablet, at the Slush 2014 event in Helsinki on Tuesday. Finland’s Nokia launched a new brand-licensed tablet computer Tuesday that is designed to rival Apple’s iPad Mini, just six months after the company sold its ailing phones and devices business to Microsoft for over US$7 billion. Nokia, a name which was once synonymous with mobile phones until first Apple and then Samsung Electronics eclipsed the Finnish company with the advent of smartphones, said the manufacturing, distribution and sales of the new N1 tablet will be handled under license by Taiwan’s Foxconn.SD-Agencies
