'In June 2012, we will have a tablet running Windows 8,' Nokia France head Paul Amsellem told the French daily Les Echos, in an interview.
Given Nokia's close relationship with Microsoft, it's been widely assumed that the Finnish phone maker would ultimately produce a Windows 8 tablet, but Amsellem's comments provide the first public confirmation of the company's plans.
What's not clear is whether June 2012 represents an on-sale timeframe for the device, or whether Amsellem was referring to a public unveiling, a preorder window, or some other milestone. Amsellem may also have inadvertently let slip when Windows 8 might be broadly available. Microsoft has yet to confirm a specific launch date.
A spokesperson for Nokia said he was unable to clarify Amsellem's comments. 'Despite this report, we haven't announced any plans anywhere in the world at this point regarding a potential tablet strategy,' the rep said in an e-mail to InformationWeek.
