I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but do you remember Nokia’s upcoming 8-inch Windows RT tablet, the one dubbed Illusionist?

The name choice now seems to be a proper one, as it appears the tablet’s faith is an elusive one. A while back I reported that the Illusionist (or Lumia 2020) appeared in a listing on export website Zauba, which apparently proved the tablet existed and was shipped to India for testing and evaluation purposes. That got a lot of people excited, but now it looks that all the buzz was for naught.

MyNokiaBlog reports that sources familiar with the matter inside Nokia have confirmed the Finish company has pulled the plug on its 8.3-inch tablet endeavor, the Lumia 2020.

According to info, the slate has been cancelled by company executives, so could this really be it?

At the moment the veracity of the information could not be verified, but the source appears to be trust-worthy. In all possibility from now on, as their illusions have been shattered, Nokia fans will have only the Lumia 2520 option, when they go tablet shopping.
