Nokia's Back In the Tablet Business, With the Android Lollipop-Based N1

[wraggster]

It's been a little over a year since the announcement of Microsoft Corp.'s acquisition of Finnish tech veteran Nokia Oyj.'s Devices unit. A year later Chinese leaks site SINA Tech says Nokia is back and ready to compete against its former unit (http://www.dailytech.com/Nokias+Sweet+250+Android+Lollipop+N1+Tablet+is+Rum ored+for+Jan+7+China+Launch/article37023.htm), suggesting it will launch in China on Jan. 7.As one commenter on the Daily Tech story points out (as does this ExtremeTech article from last month (http://www.extremetech.com/computing/194411-nokia-n1-an-ipad-mini-clone-that-runs-android-5-0-priced-at-just-250)), the not-yet-launched N1, with its "one piece aluminum body, 7.9", 2048*1536, [and] 3:4 aspect ratio" looks an awful lot like the iPad mini, but costs quite a bit less.
