Nokia plans to launch line of tablets

There are now rumors about a possible tablet from Nokia. After the partnership with Microsoft in February 2011 and the emergence of the first version information for ARM processors Windows 8, it was expected that the manufacturer finally enter the market. And that should happen soon, according to former chairman Jorma Ollila.

In an interview with the Financial Times about his departure from the company, Jorma commented on Nokia's future plans and said that the manufacturer is eyeing the competitive tablet market, currently led by the iPad. They also plan to explore hybrid devices (like tablets with physical keyboard) and other formats.

We recently published a patent filed by Nokia in 2011, which showed a tablet format very similar to the current smartphone line Lumia. As there are not many operating systems for tablets and the company does not give the slightest hint of adopting Android, the more likely it is that the device works with Windows 8 RT. Only you can not go to sleep - other manufacturers like Dell and Samsung, have already confirmed their tablets with Windows will be available in stores by the end of the year.

With the late arrival of the manufacturer on the market for Windows Phone and the loss of the position of the leading producer of mobile phones to Samsung, many Finnish criticized for being too "slow" in the smartphone market. The former chairmain agreed, but new projects are expected to grow the company again. It's what we expect. And we want new appliances indestructible.
