Speculation is pointing to a Nokia launch of a Windows 8-based tabletin the 4th quarter of this year. The new tablet is believed to have a 10-inch screen and run a dual-core Qualcomm ARM processor. The chip inside is expected to be the Snapdragon S4 Krait.
The Windows 8 device by Nokia is expected to be built by Compal who will be making around 200,000 of them for launch.
Nokia has commented in the past that it will be entering the tablet space, although it also said that it would see what way it could differentiate from the rest of the pack. Also Nokia said, “We continue to eye the tablet space with interest, but we have not announced any specific plans.”
If Nokia is working on a tablet, then it’s likely its already in the design process, and maybe into build phase. We’ll keep you posted on the development of this story.
