Nokia confirms Windows-based tablet launch in June 2012

Earlier in the year, we had reported about Nokia's plans of launching its own tablet, which it believed would distinguish itself from its competitors in the market. Back then, however, it wasn't confirmed if the tablet would be a Windows-based one, or Nokia would go for MeeGo. Now a Reuters report confirms that not only will the tablet come out in the June of next year, but also that it will be a Windows-based one. The confirmation itself came from the head of Nokia France, who quoted this for the Les Echos newspaper. 

June 2012 it is...

Nokia, reportedly looks at this as the moment of great opportunity. Further, it has been stated that Nokia's tablet running on Microsoft Windows 8 will compete directly with the iPad, which has been among the forerunners in the tablet race, globally. An exact date, among other crucial details however are still awaited. But, Nokia has got the initial momentum with the initial confirmed bits coming out.
