Today at Nokia's Connection Event in Singapore the company launched their much hinted at first Meego device, the Nokia N9, billed as the first full touch screen swipe phone. Not clear on what that means but it seems Nokia are intent on supporting and shipping out Meego devices after all.
The social networks were abuzz today with the news, with opinion split between those who thought Nokia was having Kalonzo moments [being confused, indecisive] and those who welcomed it.
Good things about the device are being heard from those who have handled it up close.
The phone, which boasts of among other features a 8 Mega pixel camera and Near Field Communications, has no front facing buttons. Instead whenever in an
application, you swipe from the edge of the screen to go back home.
Nokia also talked about a N950 tablet running Meego Harmattan, a success to brilliant Maemo running N900.
Nokia still has, much to my chagrin, plans to ship WP7 devices, a stupid move if you ask me.
How soon before we see the N9 and Meego, in Kenya? Well stayed tuned folks
