Video: I wish the next Nokia Internet Tablet came in this form factor

Stefan Constantinescu

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

  Obviously this particular design is ugly as hell, but that’s beside the point. However, even just focusing on the form factor, I would imagine a simply slide down keyboard would be more efficient space vise, and potentially more sturdy, than the twisting-hinge in the video. Such a hinge must take quite a bit of space and be bulky for it be really robust.

  maybe it is more for show than for practicality, just throwing the idea out there. seeing what others think.

  I’m mixed on the keyboard. It’s great to have when you need/want it, but great to not have it most of the time since you save on size and weight. The tablet actually has a very usable on-screen keyboard for chat and email… with the stylus or with your thumbs.
