The company will now try to make a slate based on fully-fledged Windows 8.1 OS, but that should involve a lot of work and time, meaning that the product is unlikely to reach the market this year.
Nokia was designing its own 10" media tablet based on Nvidia Corp.’s Tegra 3 system-on-chip and Windows RT operating system, reports The Verge web-site. The slate was supposed to have 4G/LTE connectivity. Partly because the application processor is now morally outdated and possibly due to a number of other reasons the Espoo, Finland-based company reportedly cancelled the project in favour of a slate based on fully-fledged Microsoft Windows 8.1 operating system.
