It looks like the tablet designs that Nokia had patented back in 2010 could be for a Maemo 6 device that straddles the space between smartphone–like the Nokia N8–and tablet. It’s unclear how Maemo 6 will shape up to be or what form factor the OS will appear on, but it’s interesting to hear Nokia talk about the platform.
When Nokia had adopted MeeGo, it had announced that it would scrap the Maemo platform as Intel would scrap its own Moblin OS in favor of co-developing MeeGo. Turns out, Nokia hasn’t quite scrapped Maemo just yet and this may be a transitional OS before releasing a MeeGo device.
