Is Nokia finally entering the Windows tablet space?

It appears that all the rumor-mongering about Nokia’s plans of releasing its own tablet isn’t all a flight of fancy, as an image of Lumia-inspired prototype has recently surfaced on the web and points us at a Windows-powered tablet.

Based on reports, Nokia’s upcoming Windows RT slate is said to sport most of the characteristics that we’ve come to expect from a high-end tablet. Well, at least that’s what the tipster told The Verge.

Codenamed Sirius, some of the purported features of this tablet includes a 10.1-inch Full-HD screen, a tandem of 6MP (front) and 2MP (back) cameras and a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 800 SoC with 2GB RAM. Moreover, it is said to pack a sizeable 32GB internal storage, a Micro-SD card slot for additional memory and will support LTE connectivity.

Although the pricing is yet to be announced, it’s been told that it’ll have the same price tag as the Apple iPad (presumably the 32GB, LTE-enabled variant). To give more bang for the buck, however, Nokia is reported to include a keyboard dock that will also serve as a secondary power source for the tablet.

Nokia’s iPad-killer, assuming that it exists, is slated to make its first public appearance at a launch event happening in New York on the 26th of next month.

everyone discounted Nokia for choosing windows phone over android back in 2011. But they made windows phone popular little by little.Now let’s see what’s the effect of Nokia for the RT tablets. I hope this will be better than the microsoft surface. That red tablet is slick!

I find it wierd that most people (Not necessarily here…) are expecting sky high impressive specs from Windows (comparing it to Android), when they can let iOS get away with only dual core(let’s put the build aside).

I currently use Android OS, but I’ve had my time with BB, iOS, Windows, and Firefox, and I hate to compare but Windows phones actually works well with dual core processors (and more efficient than most quad-core units)… Much like iOS, simplicity is at the heart of these phones… No need for extravagant specs that the phone doesn’t really need.

It’s true that they are way behind on the applications available compared to Android and iOS(but ahead compared to Firefox and Blackberry) but I find the sophistication of the phone there.

In any case, I always consider different OS with having different personalities… know what you need and select which one works for you…
