--Dell abandons Windows RT

Quote from: MajorGeeks/Timothy Weaver
According to media reports this week, Microsoft may be the last device maker to still be manufacturing devices running its Windows RT operating system. As of last MONTH, Dell appeared to be the last one standing with the XPS 10, though that device could only be found online.

Are you ready for a Nokia Lumia tablet running Windows RT 8.1? Microsoft Snaps Its Fingers, And Presto! Nokia Is Making Tablets

Quote from: ReadWrite.com
Today at a Nokia World event in Abu Dhabi, Nokia is unveiling six new devices, three of which are running Windows. The biggest, quite literally, of the bunch is Nokia's first tablet to use Windows. The Nokia Lumia 2520 is a 10.1-inch tablet running Microsoft’s Windows RT 8.1 operating system on a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 2.2 GHz processor with a 6.7 megapixel camera. The Lumia 2520 will RETAIL at $499 and will ship this quarter.

Nokia/Windows phones are not doing too bad but the numbers are still way behind Samsung and Apple devices and continue to shrink.

8 million Nokia Lumia smartphones sold in Q3 of 2013

Quote from: Inferse.com
Comparing the figures to the same period last year that was pegged at 2.9 million, Nokia more than doubled its sales. Last quarter, the Nokia Lumia smartphones posted sales of 7.4 million.
We just started investing in Windows phones on a fairly large scale, to replace Blackberries. They seem pretty well suited to our needs so far, could imagine the tablets being decent too.Combining the Nokia and Surface designs could produce a cool looking tablet. I like the way the Nokia smart phones look and I don't think the Surface tablets look bad either.
