How does this compare to Surface, and why would anybody buy one of these instead of Surface? With Nokia now owned by Microsoft, does this not mean that Microsoft has released two Windows RT tablets with similar stats?
I assume Microsoft will merge the two products in future?

I assume MS would develop Lumia line having its own tablets, otherwise it does not make sense to release sole Lumia tablet and then shutter the line down in future, when they did have the choice of not releasing at all.
- pavlov 13y agoTechnically Nokia isn't yet owned by Microsoft. The Nokia board has recommended the sale, but it's not done yet. There's always the tiny possibility that the merger won't be accepted by the Nokia shareholder meeting (which is next week, IIRC).
- Touche 13y agoMicrosoft didn't release this and in fact Microsoft can't legally influence Nokia in any way until the sale has been approved by all relevant governments.
- chiph 13y agoGiven the physical design of this vs. the Surface RT, I'd take the Nokia in a second. The reality is, with umpteen-thousand RTs clogging the Microsoft warehouse, that'll be what they try and push.
- bryanlarsen 13y agoThis one has LTE; Surface LTE is just rumours at this point, AFAICT.
