Nokia Zseries (stands for Zuper) is supposed to be Nokia's MeeGo tablet series. Originally intended to be released in 2010 and early 2011, the tablets were cancelled for unknown reasons. Only a product name has been revealed from the Ovi Store in November 2010.

The list may also include upcoming devices or others that are previously intended to be a part of the series, but was scrapped or renamed due to Nokia's number-only naming change. These are the tablets included in the series:

  • Nokia Z500 is the sole representative of the series, at least as leaked, and was shown on the Ovi Store in November 2010. It was removed a few days later, leading speculations that the tablet will be postponed. The tablet runs on a native version of the MeeGo operating system, and is packed with an ARM chip. On a Disney film called Tron: Legacy, the tablet was shown being used during a meeting in ENCOM Inc., by one of the movie's characters. However, Eldar Murtazin tweeted that the tablet was to be cancelled due to the falling off of agreements between the carrier's pricing of the device, particularly AT&T. Several demo videos appeared on video-sharing site YouTube, containing details on how the device works and how to use it. Only one picture of the device has been known to exist as of the moment, and was captured inside Nokia's mobile development office by an unknown employee. Patent applications for the said device have been gathered from the FCC files on March 2011, and since then, nothing was heard from Nokia Z500 anymore.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or devices:

    Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.
    Janet Frame (b. 1924)

    All is possible,
    Who so list believe;
    Trust therefore first, and after preve,
    As men wed ladies by license and leave,
    All is possible.
    Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    The gods being always close to men perceive those who afflict others with unjust devices and do not fear the wrath of heaven.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
