I t's not often that we review products without an official distributor in Australia – but the Nokia N1 tablet is a worthy exception, and grey importers and eBay sellers mean you can get one for around $300, if you really want. Normally, I wouldn't...

If Nokia can avoid being handed a lawsuit from Apple and sell it close to the $249 it costs in China, then Nokia could be onto something here. Apple-aping design aside, it has an impressive specs sheet although I think there's some question marks over...
