Nokia on Tuesday announced the N1 Android tablet, the first offering under its own brand since Microsoft's acquisition of its mobile phone business. The N1, slated for Q1 2015 release in China, will be made by Foxconn, which also will handle sales and distribution.

Microsoft is migrating away from the Nokia name, having just brought out the Microsoft Lumia 535 , the first Lumia associated with its own name, and "my understanding is that [it] won't be releasing any more Nokia-branded tablets," Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. The Lumia 2520 may not have sold well in China, where prices are "far lower" on the average, Enderle pointed out, so "these are very different products at very different prices, and I wouldn...

Microsoft has launched the Xbox One in China - becoming the first major console maker to enter what could be a massively lucrative market. The first consoles were sold in Shanghai, priced at 4,299 yuan ($699, £430). Sony and Nintendo are yet to launch their respective products. In January, the Chinese government lifted a 14-year ban on consoles, made because of worries over content. However, many popular titles, such as Call of Duty, will still be banned.
