14 DAY TRIAL // Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has been long rumored to plan the launch of a tablet PC running under Microsoft’s Windows operating system, and a company’s executive has confirmed once again that such devices appeal to Nokia a lot.
Jo Harlow, executive vice president of smart devices for Nokia, is the one who made the statement yesterday at the launch of Nokia Lumia 925 in London, a recent article on Cnet reads.
"We're very interested in tablets and that's an area we're looking at,” she said, but added that there was no product news to share.
Given Nokia’s close relationship with Microsoft and the company’s focus on the launch of Windows Phone 8 devices, a Nokia slate might arrive on shelves with Windows 8 or Windows RT loaded on top, rumor has it. However, an official confirmation on this has yet to emerge.
