Nokia to reportedly debut Android phone at MWC

Nokia is said to be revealing its first Android device at this year’s Mobile World Congress. The Verge quotes a Wall Street Journal report that claims the device codenamed “Normandy” will carry a “forked” version of the operating system from Google, which is similar to what Amazon did with the OS for its Kindle range. Nokia will reportedly integrate Microsoft services into the device and have a special application store for Android apps.

There aren’t too many details on the press event Nokia is holding at MWC in Barcelona except for an invite that says to “meet us under the tree.” We’ll keep you posted on any updates.

First look at Samsung's business-focused NotePRO and TabPRO tablets

Samsung's aiming at the enterprise market and the BYOD crowd with its latest line of 8.4, 10.1 and 12.2 inch tablets. While they may look similar to their consumer brethren, these pro-focused tablets are more expensive because they use more porwerful processors, higher resolution screens and have Samsung's KNOX security features as well as the new Magazine UX and various other enterprise facing applications. There's accessories, too. Various keyboards, cases, chargers and other add-ons that come in matched faux stitched leather to denote their professional nature. What do you think? Will these blend in with your many leather bound books and office that smells of rich mahogany?
