Aaah, Nokia, we thought better of you. PING!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
You have to wonder why Nokia [and others] didn’t introduce a tablet or ipad much earlier.
Windows 10 tablets will win over over everyone...... : )
Now if I can only figure out which 10” Samsung Galaxy tablet to buy as they make a gadzillion models of them!
I just came across racist pricing at Amazon...
White version $429 vs Black version $449

If Samsung gives me a tablet then I promise not to riot!
Nokia is back in the mobile phone business, after a fashion.
It has granted HMD Global an exclusive, 10-year license to the famous brand, allowing the Finnish startup to sell Nokia mobile phones and tablets.
Meanwhile Microsoft, which bought Nokias mobile phone activities in 2013, is finally getting out of the feature-phone business, selling its remaining interests in the Nokia brand and its Vietnamese phone factory to HMD and to FIH, a subsidiary of contract manufacturing giant Foxconn, for around $350 million.
Microsoft isnt giving up on phones altogether: It will continue to develop the Windows 10 Mobile OS used in phones from manufacturers including Acer, Alcatel, HP, Trinity and VAIO, and in its own Lumia phones.
Nokia is now tightly focused on manufacturing telecommunications network infrastructure, following its acquisition of rival Alcatel-Lucent and its sale of the Here mapping business.
