First we heard a rumor that Nokia is working on its own tablet and now apparently we have one of the major gaming publishers saying they’re already preparing a game for the forthcoming device. It gets kinda crazy, though I doubt the Finnish giant wants to miss the new tablet wave.
The gaming publisher is Germany’s Fishlabs and they said: “We are working on a triple-A title closely together with Nokia featuring OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics for a large screen.”
Large screen could be anything from 4 to 10 inches, but something tells me that in addition to the new sexy phone (which could come with a large screen), those Helsinki guys and gals also work on something bigger, better, which will hopefully run MeeGo rather than Symbian.
However, it’s important to add that having a single large publisher on board is not enough. Heck, even if you have a number of publishers supporting the platform, that doesn’t guarantees success. Where’s N-Gage today? And it was supported by virtually every major mobile gaming company. The idea is to create a sexy platform and accompanying device(s) that excite both major companies and independent (small) developers. Symbian is not the answer, that’s for sure. The question is – can MeeGo do that? I certainly hope so…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
