Nokia Plans ‘Hybrid’ Attack

LONDON – Nokia will take on Apple and a range of Android players by launching a range of tablets and “hybrid” smart mobile devices, according to the company’s chairman, Jorma Ollila.
Ollila, who is leaving Nokia after 27 years, did not, say when the mobile devices would be launched.

He told the UK’s Financial Times that Nokia had been too slow at the start of the smartphone revolution, when phones started to become Internet-connected.

However, he said that the combination of new products and Nokia services would still “make a difference”.”There will be different hybrids, different form factors, in the future,” he said.
