Introducing Tablet Scene, a website community for non-techie tablet users

By far the biggest online community for Nokia's internet tablets is the famous Internet Tablet Talk site with almost 20,000 registered members. However, it's got rather a technology-heavy atmosphere and most of the forums on ITT assume a lot of prior knowledge about computing in general. Some people may find it slightly intimidating, especially if they don't understand what people are talking about.

Nokia's tablets started off in 2005 as gadgets for technology enthusiasts, but lately they've moved much more into the mainstream. A lot of Nokia tablet users nowadays aren't hardware hackers or programmers but ordinary people who just enjoy surfing the web or checking their e-mail.

To cater for this new kind of tablet user, ITT and the Internet Tablet School have worked together to create a new Nokia tablet community site called Tablet Scene:

http://www.tabletscene.com/

The aim of Tablet Scene is to provide a set of forums where ordinary tablet users can hang out in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. No one is expected to have any knowledge about computing, the only topic is getting fun and usefulness from Nokia tablets. Everyone is welcome on Tablet Scene, no one will scream at you to use the "search" function (though of course you ought to use it anyway as it's jolly handy!).

If you are an ITT regular and worried about this new site splitting the membership, don't worry, because the Tablet Scene and ITT forums share exactly the same database. You can use your ITT username and password to log into Tablet Scene too, and you'll find all the same post counts, statistics and private messages that you currently have on ITT. ITT and Tablet Scene are really just two parts of a single site, and members can move between the two sections whenever they like.

See you on Tablet Scene!
