| The Nokia tablet is here again, making it perhaps the umpteenth time the device has hit headlines. The series of flip flops have been punctuated by confirmations once in a while that the company is indeed in the race to develop a tablet device. However, all of the hype nearly disappeared, except now we are seeing a remarkable resurgence of a prototype model once again. However, lest there be joyous outbreaks to mark the arrival of Nokia at the tablet scene, let's set the record straight. The new images represent the prototype device that the Finnish phone maker had produced, though nothing has ever made it to the final production stages. Sources reveal the device is packed with the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad core chip rated at 1.3 GHz, 2 GB RAM, and a 10.1 inch 16-point touch touchscreen. Other features of the tablet included a HDMI out slot, a full sized USB port, and a micro SIM card slot. Also, of course, the tablet runs Windows RT and shares quite a few design cues with the present crop of Lumia devices. The images also reveal a magnetic connector similar to the Surface devices. A total of 5 images have emerged of the cancelled device and have been posted at the site Naver Cafe Forum by a user who claims to have received it from someone at Nokia. However, Nokia fans that might have been eager for a tablet from the company can still have hope. Sources close to the project have confirmed to The Verge that the company is working on a Windows 8 version instead. The closest that we have seen Nokia coming to launch a tablet was during the MWC event held early in the year, though that never came to be.
