Nokia MID and Nautilus. New Linux based mobile computers from Nokia

Yesterday we told you about 3 thin touchscreen devices that Nokia is planning to introduce later this year.

Well, today we have info about a couple of more high end touch devices coming up from Finnish vendor in late 2009-2010. And, most likely, they are not based on Symbian S60.

According to the Street.com one of them is what Nokia used to call Internet Tablet, will have a  4.2” touchscreen and “hidden slide-out keyboard. This Nokia MID is expected to ship  in Q4, before Christmas.

These news correlate pretty well with what Eldar Murtazin from Mobile-review have been hinting for a few weeks on his blog and some podcasts:

Sounds like a very interesting second half of the year coming up.
