Nokia is planning to release a Windows 8 tablet in late 2012, complete with 10-inch screen and dual-core chipset, according to a new report. Nokia plans on launching a Windows 8 tablet sometime in the fourth quarter of 2012, according to unnamed sources speaking to DigiTimes. The March 12 article suggested that Nokia would outsource the actual tablet production to Compal Electronics, and that the first shipment would total 200,000 units. Sources among “upstream component suppliers” predicted that “Nokia’s venture into the tablet PC market will also further intensify competition among non-iPad tablet PC vendors.” The tablet itself will reportedly feature a 10-inch screen and a Qualcomm dual-core chipset.
