Nokia Windows 8 Tablet:
Nokia is
working on Windows tablets in California and could even reveal a new
slate model at its New York Windows Phone 8 event today, according to
insider whispers. The west coast project is either running Windows 8 or
Windows RT, a former Nokia exec told Finnish paper Tekniikka &
Talous, while further tipsters suggest that phones may not be the only
thing on the agenda for this morning.
Tablets have been a missing piece in Nokia’s mobile strategy for some years now, with the company flirting with the possibility with oversized, non-cellular touchscreen slabs like the Maemo-powered 770, but not releasing a true iPad competitor. Several years back, the company attempted a netbook of its own, the Nokia Booklet, running Windows 7, but its heavy asking price meant sales were underwhelming.

The two Windows 8 Nokia tablet designs haven’t been officially
confirmed or denied by Nokia at the present time, but the patent
covering the two designs definitely provides evidence that Nokia is
considering manufacturing a tablet, with possible construction details
for Nokia’s up-and-coming Windows 8 tablet taking the form of the images
below.
Unfortunately no information on pricing or worldwide availability has
been released as yet regards any Nokia Windows 8 tablet, but as soon as
information comes to light we will keep you updated as always.
