Nokia World 2011 brought us the first Windows Phone 7.5 Mango devices
from Nokia and now maybe it’s time to start looking for the first
Windows 8 tablet made by the Finns. This could be a slate that looks
like the device pictured below, a mere render of a tablet inspired by
the Nokia N9.
Nokia must be careful here not to make the same mistake it did when
trying to enter the market of netbooks. The Nokia Booklet 3G failed
miserably because of the price and I really can’t see a solid reason for
its purchase. Since Nokia is all about Microsoft these days, why
wouldn’t they also join hands in the tablet field?
I know that MS has been trying long and hard to come up with an iPad
rival… Thus, now that the Steve Jobs official biography revealed that
the iPad was in fact an idea started to tease Microsoft, the Redmond
giant has all the reasons to retaliate and the hardware coming from
Nokia to be able to do so.
