We’ve no doubts that Nokia will be making Windows-based tablets now when they adopted Microsoft’s mobile (and tablet) platform. According to these two patents, we should expect unibody designs similar to the one Nokia introduced with the Nokia N9 and later adopted in Lumia 800 and newer Windows Phones (like the Lumia 820 and Lumia 820).

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    The Red and Blue are the ones people’s will travel to as soon as the get to the tablet section of entertainment or computer department of store most tablets follow the same rectangular black  2001 monolith style case. Nokia tablets  made  with colorful polycarbonate would be a welcome change  from the 2001 black monolith slabs that are out there.
