MeeGo user interface spotted running on a tablet

It seems that the MeeGo user interface will find a home on tablets, as seen in a video that highlighted several of the menus, home screens, and the mobile Fennec (Firefox) browser. Although some of the design does resemble as though they had plenty of influence from Maemo 5 on the N900, most of the icons and user experience are pretty new in their own right. We are excited to see just what will Nokia offer with the new MeeGo user interface on the tablet platform – will it involve moving away from standard widgets and home screens for a totally new and evolutionary user interface? Only time will tell, and it might just boost the tablet market even further if Nokia pulls this off correctly.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish communications company that was the largest phone vendor (per unit) between 1988 to 2012. The company's history go back to 1871 but the Nokia that we know today (the Nokia corporation) was founded in 1967 by the merger of three Finnish companies. It is then that Nokia worked on networking equipment and was ultimately involved in the launch of the first cellular network in 1981 (Mobira Oy). Nokia because a key developer of GSM, the standard that we all know today. Although Nokia still produces a range of phones that includes entry-level handsets and Symbian smartphones, the company is counting on the Windows Phone OS to regain the share that it once had. The current flagship Windows Phone device from Nokia is the Lumia 920.
