Nokia joins the tablet race with Nokia Lumia 2520

Nokia Lumia 2520 is the latest addition to the ever growing number of tablets in the market. The growth of mobile technology over the past few years has seen many companies join the tablet race with Nokia being the latest of them.

Nokia Lumia 2520 is Nokia’s first Windows tablet that has been on rumors for over a year now. You can say the Nokia Lumia 2520 is just an over-sized Windows Lumia phone and you won’t be far from it.

What comes to surprise is how Nokia will produce a tablet that will directly go into competition with Microsoft’s Windows tablets just months after the internet giants acquired Nokia. In the next few months the Nokia Lumia 2520 will compete with Microsoft’s Surface tablets for   their share of the Windows-based tablet market share.
