The device was expected to have a 10-inch display, run NVIDIA's (Nasdaq: NVDA) Tegra 3 processor, and have the typical features you might find on a tablet today like HDMI and USB ports, as well as LTE connectivity support.
Nokia is now expected to be working on a slate which would run the full-version of Windows 8. Details of that tablet haven't been speculated.
