Nokia is showing off the Android tablet that’s part of its
post-mobile phones strategy here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
It’s only available in China right now but the company tells TechCrunch
it’s “looking at European markets” to consider whether to bring the N1
here too.
Announced last November, the slender, almost 8-inch N1 is a brand licensing collaboration between Nokia and Chinese electronics manufacturing firm Foxconn. It’s not clear how the revenue share breaks down — and Nokia wouldn’t specify when we asked — but it’s definitely doing less of the heavy lifting, with Foxconn making the hardware and also handling distribution, sales and marketing. Nokia contributes design work, its brand name and Z Launcher Android launcher, also revealed last year.
Nokia’s Tuukka Järvenpää, lead product manager of brand licensing, said the Nokia N9 design team worked with Foxconn on the tablet’s design. The N9 was a refreshingly different, round-edged smartphone released to admiring looks back in 2011. The same design was subsequently pushed onto Nokia’s early Windows Phone devices. Nokia is now recycling some of that design language for a second time with the N1.
