First Review Of Nokia N1

It’s at promotional partner ZOL, [Google Translate]. To be fair, even with them being a promo partner, it’s not all roses.

How Much Can USB-C Do?

Apple’s rumored 12″ MacBook Air may aggressively target mobility with USB 3.1 Type-C

A very interesting post. The USB-C connector used first by the Nokia N1 tablet is more than just a typical USB port.

It also makes me wonder if:

1) USB-C will be the wave of the future for all tablets, including the iPad.

2) If the Nokia N1’s USB-C port can do more than charge/connect/host.

3) If Apple will somehow tweak USB-C on their devices to make peripherals fall under their “Made for X” licensing scheme and break cross-platform compatibility.

With its USB-C connector and Intel Z3580 CPU, I’m beginning to think that the Nokia N1 is more than just a “different” tablet — it’s actually the first of the next generation of them.
