[Edit : Also released today: $339 for 6-inch Nokia 1320 [1,2]. Now that does not pinch the pocket at all. ] That tablet is a beauty. Nokia's industrial design team deserves kudos for putting so many beautiful products on the table. It also has 16 hrs battery life with cover attached. Impressive. Any video of it?

It's a tablet. And its a post iPad tablet. I fail to see what is so impressive about it.

  Nokia also ran. See what I did there? I summarized the entire PR exercise in 3 words.

  Well the assumption that post-iPad tablets cannot be impressive is ludicrous to me. Nexus 7 is impressive. This tablet in particular: Beautiful and sharp design, cyan color is attractive, it has outlook on the go, and most of all that book cover type of keyboard cover is impressive as seen in the videos. You are allowed to see it as mediocre tablet, but basing it on it being post-iPad is not good. One massive shortcoming is the app situation on Windows platform, which takes the sheen off this tablet.

Thanks Nokia PR team.

  Uncalled for, I just wanted to know more about the tablet and posted that here for others. I do not take kindly to your disparaging remark.

    I'll take your word for it. But you have to be careful with your enthusiasm, because microsoft and satellites are known for their aggressive astroturfing, and you might sound like a paid shill.

      "microsoft and satellites are known for their aggressive astroturfing" "paid shill" Slashdot beginnings on HN.

        I always find it funny when new members of a community assail veterans with accusations of eternal September type of behaviour.

        Because the date on the account tells you how long somebody's been lurking, or if they had previous accounts. I have been lurking here since about 2 years before you created your account (see what I did there?), and while comparisons with Reddit may have been misplaced, comparisons with Slashdot look more and more apt to me.

Maybe a strange question: I'm getting very tired of those mood movies because it's not me. I'm more interested in the movies shown on conversations.nokia.com because it's showing what the device can and does. Now I'm wondering does this kind of mood advertising work? And for what audience does it work?

What exactly is interesting here? I like the LTE, but the screen resolution is below par (granted, it looks good on the 7" Nexus 7!). The industrial design looks nice, but I don't think I'd give it a second glance in 2013. Windows RT is also a pretty big turnoff - I'm underwhelmed by the app selection in the Play store, so stepping into the "3rd place" app store is pretty unthinkable to me.
