Nokia ready to launch Window 8 Tablet

Last time , CEO Stephen Elop hints at Nokia Windows 8 tablet.And Now Nokia is ready to launch it.

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 at upstream component suppliers.

Among the manufacturers of the slate that has sometimes been called by fans “Nokia Tab” there’s Compal, that’s supposed to deliver a batch of 200.000 units.

Nokia will be joining the Windows on ARM side, as it tries to compete with iOS and Android tablets.

If Nokia is working on a Windows 8 tablet, it won't be the first time the company tries to cash in on a computing craze. In 2009, Nokia built a netbook running Windows 7, with built-in 3G, GPS and premium materials such as aluminum and glass. The Booklet 3G's $299 price tag seemed reasonable, except that it required a two-year mobile data plan, which ensured that the product would flop.
