Nokia Cancels Unannounced Windows RT-Based Tablet

Nokia Corp., a close partner to Microsoft and the leading maker of Windows Phone-based smartphones, has reportedly followed the path various PC makers and cancelled its media tablet based on Windows RT operating system. 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.

Even though usage of Microsoft Windows 8.1 platform will guarantee Nokia somewhat better market acceptance of the product, it also means that the company will have to redesign not only software for the tablet, but also to develop hardware from scratch. To run Windows 8.1 operating system will require Nokia to use x86-compatible application processors, which essentially means two options: AMD code-named Temash system-on-chip or Intel Atom “ValleyView” processors with Bay Trail-T platform.
