The 10.1″ tablet comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 (quad-core 2.2 Ghz) chipset and LTE connectivity \u2013 unlike Microsoft\u2019s Surface, which is wifi only. It will ship this year.<\/p>\n

The screen has high brightness and low reflectivity, which apparently enables reading or videos in bright sunlight as well as in low light.<\/p>\n

The camera hardware includes Zeiss optics, 6.7MP rear camera, 2MP front camera.<\/p>\n

Fast charging gets it to 80% charged in one hour, according to Nokia.<\/p>\n

The Nokia Power Keyboard accessory offers up to 5 hours added battery life and two USB ports. It forms a cover as well as a keyboard, and includes a trackpad. <\/p>\n

As with other Windows RT devices, Microsoft Office is included.<\/p>\n

On the app side, Nokia showed two of the same apps just announced<\/a> for its Lumia Windows Phones, the Nokia Camera app and the Storyteller app.<\/p>\n

Nokia also announced that a Flipboard<\/a> app is coming to Windows RT.<\/p>\n

Now there are two new Windows RT devices: Microsoft\u2019s Surface and Nokia\u2019s Lumia. However Nokia is being acquired by Microsoft and it will be interesting to see how the different product lines are managed by the combined company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
