Nokia Windows 8 tablet will have a 10 inch display and will be based on a dual Core processor from Qualcomm.
Nokia is set to enter the tablet market
with a Windows 8 based tablet which is expected to be launched by the
end of this year, according to a report.
DigiTimes, quoting sources in upstream component suppliers, has
reported that Nokia will team up with Microsoft to venture into the
tablet PC market by releasing a 10-inch Windows 8-based tablet PC set on
Qualcomm's dual-core platform in the fourth quarter of 2012 at the
earliest.
According to sources, Nokia is expected to outsource production of
the 10-inch tablet to Compal Electronics (a Chinese IT manufacturer)
with the first batch of shipments to top 200,000 units.
There have been many rumors around Nokia entering the tablet market
earlier as well. However, this time around the information seems to be
authentic.
In any case, Nokia is struggling to retain its smartphone market
share despite choosing Microsoft's Windows Phone as its smartphone
platform. Windows 8, which is going to be one OS for both desktop and
tablets, has better chances of success as Microsoft's Windows platform
is dominant platform in PC space.
Entering the tablet business can provide much needed boost to Nokia in terms of sales in the high end device segment.
Many analysts believe that Windows 8 can shake up the Apple iPad
dominance in the tablet space. With the likes of Nokia, Lenovo and HP
planning a Windows 8 tablet launch by year end, the tablet market sure
looks ready for a shakeup.
