Finnish Restaurant preemptively promotes Nokia Windows Tablet as a prize for March 2013

Posted: 09 Dec 2012 11:33 AM PST

Some intriguing bit of anticipation by this Finnish restaurant who is apparently offering Nokia Windows tablets as a prize in March 2013.

I stumbled across this rather pecuniary advert at a Finnish restaurant. They’re asking you to get their “lunch passport”, and if you eat enough meals at the place, you may win a Nokia tablet in March 2013. I have no idea why a small food chain would have any inside information regarding Nokia’s plans. They’re also telling you (in small print) that if no Nokia tablet is available, the winner will get the newest iPad instead. So take this with high amounts of salt.

As noted above, they do say that if there isn’t a Nokia tablet, the winners will instead get a new iPad. I’ve seen a few comments suggesting new exciting Nokia devices for spring, but not a lot to go on yet.

Cheers Visa for the tip

I saw this on twitter last night – I think it was a recording of the Finland Independence Day fireworks as shot on the Nokia 808 PureView.

Listen out for the stereo sound goodness. I think every now and again the right mic gets covered up but other than that, the video sounds and obviously looks great.

Whilst we’re there, here’s one by the Nokia Lumia 920. I think someone needs to sort out the continuous focus hunting. It’s great that CAF is superfast, but at the same time, it produces an annoying focus pulsing.
