Nokia Microsoft partnership

Nokia Microsoft partnership, Nokia And Microsoft’s ‘Special Partnership’ Just Another Windows Phone. It was supposed to be a unique partnership: two giants of the tech world coming together to jump-start their mobile strategies and develop products greater than the sum of their two parts.

* S1 and S2 will use Google's Android 3.0 operating system
* Tablets will both be wi-fi and 3G/4G compatible
* Prices and release dates not revealed

Being able to carry your entire book collection has become a feature of tablet computers. But Sony has gone one further by making a device that folds open like one too.

Sony announced it is entering the tablet market dominated by Apple's iPad with not one, but two devices.

The tablets - called S1 and S2 - will use an operating system based on Google's Android 3.0.

And in what Sony hopes will provide a key selling point, the latter has two 5.5-inch displays that can be folded like a book. The S1 has a 9.4inch display.
