Nokia Possibly Working on a Windows 8 Tablet With Mechanical Keyboard Cover

Ved — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 06:14:03 +0000

Nokia has been try hard to cash on in the opportunity in the tablets market which is currently exploding with endless possibilities. We have come across a patent that was filed by Nokia way back in 2011 about a device whose description possibly sounds like that one of a tablet with a cover and a keyboard:

An apparatus including a first section having a display; and a second section movably connected to the first section. The second section forms a cover for the display. The cover has a first portion and a second portion movably connected to the first portion. The first and second portions are configured to cover different portions of a front of the display. The second portion is pivotably connected to the first section by the first portion. The second portion has a keyboard thereon.

What we feel is that although Nokia might not be actively pursuing this tablet but also we cant deny the fact that a Windows 8 tablet is missing from Nokia’s portfolio when its competitors like Samsung, LG and HTC already have good tablet offerings. Take a look at these pictures taken from the patent:
