Image of Windows RT tablet shows up at Nokia event

Rumors of a Windows RT powered Nokia
tablet have been going around since at
least March last year and a potential slip-
up at a Nokia event in Pakistan will only
fuel that fire. An image shown during the
presentation featured a Windows RT
tablet sandwiched between a Nokia Lumia
620 and a desktop monitor displaying the
Windows Start screen.
Measuring the ratio of the Lumia 620
screen and the unknown tablet, we
arrived at around 11.6 inches screen
diagonal. That’s a fairly popular diagonal
for Windows RT tablets.
Nokia has literally bet its house on the
Windows ecosystem succeeding, so a
tablet might help push things along.
Microsoft is quiet on Surface RT sales, but
with Nokia having established itself as the
Windows Phone maker, it might have
better luck selling a Windows slate.
According to a rumor from December last
year, the Nokia tablet will have USB and
HDMI ports plus a sheet battery with two
extra USB ports and a kickstand. The
MWC is fast approaching and it might be
the launch venue for the Finns' first
tablet. We’ll be there, holding a pinch of
salt.
