Nokia Tablets for February 2013?

E-mail Print PDF

We already reported on a few Nokia Windows 8 tablet rumours over the past year-- now DigiTimes insists the company will "likely" reveal such a device in 2 months' time at Mobile World Congress 2013.

Nokia tabletOriginally meant for a Q4 2012 release, the Nokia Windows 8 tablet met delays due to the launch of Windows RT (the current supposed OS for the device) and the Microsoft Surface announcement.

A launch during MWC 2013 however makes sense-- Nokia will not have a big presence at CES 2013, making the Spanish trade show more ideal, perhaps.

DigiTimes sources point out the device will have a 10-inch display and carry a Qualcomm processor, with Compal taking over ODM duties. For the record, the previous DigiTimes rumours (from March 2012) mention a dual-core Qualcomm SoC and a first shipment of 20000 units.

Will Nokia find a market in tablets? And, more importantly, how will avoid butting heads with its partner, Microsoft?
