Nokia works on unique Tablet PC

Nokia wants a unique tablet, which are not comparable with those available on the market. "There are currently more than 200 different tablets on the market, only one of them is really good," said Stephen Elop, CEO, Nokia. "I, my appeal to the team is that I don't want to be a tablet on the market of the 201st, which you can see all the others. We need to take a unique Nokia potential. "

Words are not enough, there are a lot of work to be carried out in order to promote the idea. I don't think each manufacturer wanted to make useless tablet.

There is a question about the upcoming tablet. What happens to software as the basis for it? It is a Microsoft product? This is not even clear for the CEO himself, who says: "we can take advantage of Microsoft technologies and software and build a Windows Tablet-oriented or we can do things with certain other assets of the software, which we have. Our team is now assess what is the correct strategy Nokia tablet. "

Most likely the next facilities from design to the end of this year, while the release will be available in the next year. I hope you will be really something fresh!

Free themes Nokia N8

What are the best ways to upgrade and to decorate the device? Good games and applications, are among the most popular measures, while some continue to believe that the major theme is the best way to decorate your smartphone, especially if it's the Nokia N8.

A lot of interesting topics, you can download the Ovi store. But now I want to talk about themes, top 3, those are just available for free and are not less beautiful than paid.

This topic is pretty clear from the great white shark floating blue water. Menu icons are also called the "painted" impressive colors, while the General Schedule will not be changed.

Regardless of the name seems the theme is not too bright. The background is dark, dark green and resembles a black wood. Despite this, silver and green icons look quite elegant. I think the contrast of colors looks simply amazing and it will be the perfect theme for entrepreneurs and business women.

This topic is too crazy to stay. Blue comes in different shades of the more interesting theme. Can't make calls easy on the eye. There is simply no way to get used to the theme. Icon theme developed in lighter and softer colors in contrast to the more aggressive the background.

Themes can be downloaded from the Ovi store.
