Nokia is shaping its tablet, according to the company's CEO

Stephen Elop, CEO of the firm Nokia, has given an interview to the Australian Financial Review newspaper where he spoke about the tablet project that the Nordic company is up to. According to Elop, they are currently evaluating the market and the ups and downs of Microsoft Surface in it to design your own strategy. In addition, he has confirmed that the price of the product will be a factor taken into account by his company.

As reported TechCrunch, Stephen Elop almost had to slow down not to end up announcing a new tablet of Nokia during the interview, as he made it clear that the Finnish company has the project underway and is evaluating different options. The most possible is simply that it is a tablet with Windows 8 / RT 10,1 inch, that's at least what the media had predicted. However, Elop does not want to get wet when it comes to the operating system (although the thing seems clear) and despite being perhaps the star manufacturer of the platform Microsoft, does not close the door to Android.

Nokia focuses for now on studying the activity of Surface, the most successful tablet in the system Windows in the market, despite its initial limitations, and does so to determine "what is the best way to participate in the sector." In the coming years we will see the company's product offer grow, which will push prices down. A logical question if we think that although the demand for tablets is growing at a very good pace, it is still an “emerging” segment and prices should stabilize downwards when this type of device is more widespread.

In the Finnish firm they know the great opportunity that is presented to them with this project, having as they also have an important base in the platform of Microsoft with its Lumia 920, and being faced with the possibility of integrating your next device into an ecosystem with a niche of potential users who are still waiting for an alternative with Windows in the tablet market that suits your interests to a greater extent than, for now, it appears to Surface.
