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

Esra Erimez writes 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, 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), 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.

Not that much less

The base iPad Mini 2 lists at $299 and was as low as $229 during recent sales; the N1 is launching at $249.

This is the part of Nokia that was not acquired by Microsoft.
