Why did Nokia bosses wait so long to pop THAT Lumia tab?

Nokia saves another MS OS?

It's a measure of the quality of Nokia' hardware (and customer goodwill that is still out there) that they are dragging first Windows Phone and now RT into the mainstream. Personally, I like WP, and like the look of RT, but it's fair to say that neither has a future without Nokia.

On RT, it has always been talked about in terms of what it isn't rather than what it is, what it doesn't do rather than what it does. So many people criticise it because you can't run full Windows applications - that's always mentioned - while that's been the tablet paradigm since the iPad was first introduced. The lack of apps on the platform is also trotted out, albeit with more justification, but if you look at what it does actually have, you find a competent and fully featured tablet OS. The Nokia hardware is just a bonus.

Ms. Gates: 'Bill does not use a Mac'

She must really hate iPhones...

...what with banning them three years before they were launched.

Back in March 2003, she told Vogue: "There are very few things that are on the banned list in our household...But iPods and iPhones are two things we don't get for our kids."
