Rumours: Nokia’s First Tablet~The Lumia 2520


Well, it looks everybody had their turn of manufacturing Tablet devices, and Nokia felt left behind. Nokia has decided to manufacture their own tablet too. Nokia's first tablet may be on the way any moment. Just be in the look out for updates, get the full gist bellow. 

It has emerged that Nokia’s first tablet will be part of the Lumia brand and will carry the product code 2520, hence the name the Lumia 2520.

The tablet also has a wide bezel, in which sits a front facing webcam but there are no clue as to the specs.

Tablet Specs And Operating System

Any information on specs for the Nokia tablet are pure speculation at the moment but rumours suggest that the device will have 
*a 1080p, 
*10.1-inch display, 
*6.7 megapixel rear-facing camera and 
*ten hours of battery life. 
*It is also rumoured to have LTE support, 
*32GB of storage, 
*microHDMI connector and 
*a micro USB port. Whether these rumours are true, we’ll have to wait and see.

What nobody seems to know is what operating system Nokia’s first tablet will run on. It’s possible that it will run on Windows RT but it would make more sense for it to be powered by Windows Phone 8, especially seeing as Microsoft is working on an update that will allow Windows Phone 8 to run on tablet-sized devices. As with the specs, we’ll have to wait and see for that one.
Release Date
There is no confirmed release date for the Lumia 2520 yet but Nokia will be showing off the new tablet for the first time on October 22nd.

That’s the same day that Apple will be showcasing its next generation of iPads. Apple’s unveiling date was supposed to be the 15th but it was moved to the following week.

Hopefully for Nokia, the time difference in Abu Dhabi will allow the device to be unveiled first. ~TechBeat

What? Scientists Charge Nokia Phone With Lightning?


As odd as this may sound, but I think its pretty. Imagine you charging your Nokia phone with lightening, but how long can you wait till lightening comes so that you'd charge your phone? I now it sounds like a fairy tale but its real. Read the full story below. Scientists from the University of Southampton have got together with Nokia and carried out a proof-of-concept experiment. It is hoped that by harnessing this natural power source, areas with a short electricity supply could use this as an alternative energy source.

The team used a transformer to recreate a lightning bolt in the laboratory by passing 200,000 volts across an 11-inch air gap.

“We were amazed to see that the Nokia circuitry somehow stabilized the noisy signal, allowing the battery to be charged,” said Neil Palmer, from the University of Southampton’s high voltage laboratory. “This discovery proves devices can be charged with a current that passes through the air, and is a huge step towards understanding a natural power like lightning and harnessing its energy." 
Warning! Don't try it at home.Credits~TechBeat
