Nokia working on own tablet: Design chief

Img/2012/3/15/nokia-small.jpgHelsinki: Nokia design chief Marko Ahtisaari is spending a third of his time on creating a tablet for the cellphone maker, which would stand out among hundreds of iPad-challengers, he said in an interview with Finnish magazine Kauppalehti Optio."We are working on it," he was quoted as saying.

Nokia`s Chief Executive Stephen Elop has said the category is interesting for the Finnish company, but has stressed the need for a different approach to numerous rivals trying to battle against the dominance of Apple`s iPad. "We continue to eye the tablet space with interest, but have made no specific announcements," a company spokesman said on Thursday. Nokia is widely expected to launch an own tablet using Microsoft`s Windows 8 software later this year. Bureau Report
