Nokia to release N8-style MeeGo tablet, suggests patent

A patent filed back in May 2010 has been revealed, suggesting that Nokia has an N8-style MeeGo tablet in the pipeline.

Revealed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the year-old patent details Nokia’s plans to release an N8-style tablet, believed to be sporting a 9 or 10-inch display. The mystery slate is also rumoured to be running Nokia and Intel’s MeeGo OS, despite the Finns admitting that it will only reveal one such device in 2011 following its Windows Phone 7 alliance. Could this be it?

Little else is known about the unnamed tablet, although the basic sketches reveal that it will arrive with USB ports, a 3.5mm audio jack and what likes like microSD and SIM card slots. If previous rumours are true, it will also feature a 1.2GHz processor under the hood.

If it ever sees the light of day, Nokia’s rumoured MeeGo tablet will launch in Q3 2011.
