Nokia Windows RT tablet to launch in September, sources suggest

While many companies are turning away from Windows RT, it seems Nokia is still looking to launch its own RT tablet device in September.

An image from Chinese website Digiwo purports to show the back of a Verizon-bound red Nokia tablet, that matches the sort of dimensions we saw in a previous Nokia tablet leak in July. The rounded edges and colours appear to match those of Lumia Windows Phone 8 devices, making this look very much like it's part of the Lumia design family.

The previous rumours, as well as today's addition, point to a 10.1-inch tablet with a 1080p display. There's the suggestion of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, making for a quad-core Windows RT tablet, along with LTE support, which the pictured device seems to suggest with it's Verizon 4G LTE branding. There's also talk of a keyboard attachment containing additional storage and battery.

The Verge adds to the mix, reporting that "sources" have detailed that Nokia is working on a tablet codenamed Vanquish and it's looking at a 26 September launch date with a special event in New York.

There's no word of confirmation from Nokia on the tablet, although the company has previously expressed interest in tablet devices. With companies such as Asus looking to step away from the Windows RT platform, Nokia will have to bring a world of unique innovative features to its tablet, as it does with Windows Phone, to get it off the ground.

We will keep you posted.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD leaks suggest high-resolution updates

The next version of the Amazon Kindle Fire HD may come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset and a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution display, if new details prove to be accurate.

The current iteration of the Amazon Kindle Fire HD tablets were launched on 6 September, so it's not surprising to see rumours building about the next-gen. With the tablet wars in full swing, staying up to date is important and it looks like Amazon is lining up a quad-core, high resolution device to compete with the iPad and Android tablets.

The new information comes from a leaked benchmark, reporting on an Amazon built device running on Android 4.2.2 and revealing the hardware details.

The newly discovered specs corroborate those of a previously reported rumour that gave the same resolution for the 8.9-inch model, as well as suggesting the same chipset.

Should this all be true, the new Amazon Kindle Fire HD would be one of the sharpest tablets available: the Nexus 10 offers the same resolution, but on a 10-inch display, meaning the Kindle's pixel density will be higher.

It's been suggested that Amazon will make the announcement at the IFA 2013 trade show in early September, but we suspect that the company will want to avoid conflict with the announcements from the likes of Sony and Samsung, preferring it's own event in Santa Monica.

Any Amazon Kindle Fire HD refresh is likely to be initially for the US markets, with the company often delaying launch in other territories.
