Nokia is beginning the party of the tablet . The company announced a new 10-inch tablet called the Lumia 2520 on Tuesday at a press event in Abu Dhabi Abu Dhabi. The Windows RT device is Nokia's first full-sized tablet.
The 2520 comes in red, cyan, black, and white.
The Lumia 2520 tablet will cost $499 and run Windows RT 8.1, a limited
variation of the Windows 8 operating system that uses that system's
tile-based touchscreen feature,But it does bring something a
little new to the range, namely a brightly colored design as well
as a focus on tablet-based photography.
Windows 8 instead of Windows Phone 8
The most intriguing Lumia is the company’s first Windows RT tablet, the
Lumia 2520. With a 10.1-inch 1080p HD display, it looks like a giant
Lumia phone, and even comes in the same bright colors: red, white, cyan and black. Instead of Windows Phone, however, it runs Windows 8.1 RT, the latest update to Microsoft’s tablet and PC OS. Internally, it sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chip and a 8000mAh battery.
Design
The 2520's screen closely matches the one
on the Surface 2. It's 10.1 inches diagonally and has a full HD
1,920x1,080-pixel (218ppi) display. Like the Lumia smartphones, the 2520
uses Nokia's ClearBlack Display filter, which promises to cut down on
glare when you're outside. That's important, because unlike a
smartphone, on which you might just be quickly checking checking
your e-mail or taking a photo, you're more likely to spend more time on
your tablet outside, reading or watching a video. If the screen's
performance outdoors is as good as Nokia says it is, it will make it
much easier to use your tablet in sunlight.
Includes a 6.7 megapixel back-facing camera , The company says it has
upped the screen's peak brightness so it's extra visible outdoors in
direct sunlight. For its new smartphones, Nokia has chosen to continue its focus on the
camera as the killer feature that can set its devices apart. Its Lumia
1020 smartphone's primary selling point was its impressive 40 megapixel
camera. The new big-screen 1520 smartphone will have a smaller but still
powerful 20 megapixel camera and cost $749 before any carrier subsides.
The the cheaper 1320 has a more ordinary 5 megapixel camera and cost
$399. The Nokia Camera app is getting an update across all Nokia
devices.
Keyboard cover
To go along with the tablet, Nokia is selling a keyboard cover with a
full touch pad and stand for $150. It looks a bit like Microsoft's Type
Cover for the Surfaces, but the keyboard part is thicker than the
portion that houses the touch pad. The cover also gives the 2520 an
extra 5 hours of battery life.
I didn't get a chance to spend
time with the cover, but it looks sturdy. We'll have a full review of it
as soon as we get our hands on on
Outlook
Nokia is well-known for design and that shows in the Lumia 2520. It's pleasing to look at and feels great to hold.
Picking
Windows RT over the full-size operating system is an interesting bet,
given that RT was a flop in 2012 when Microsoft first announced it --
largely because consumers had a hard time figuring out why they should
use it. Nokia will need to convince potential customers that the 2520
can do everything they need it to. For now, the company is hoping that
the LTE support and Office Suite will entice buyers who need a portable
productivity machine.
Nokia's Lumia 2520 tablet comes in glossy
red and white, and a matte finish in black and cyan. AT&T is the
first carrier to say it will sell the Lumia 2520, but prices, colors,
and sale date are not yet revealed. Other carriers around the globe are
sure to follow suit. Stay tuned for more!

Water and dust resistant :
Xperia™ Tablet Z was tested to make sure it could stand up to water and dust. The high IP55 & IP57 rating means it’s unaffected by 30 minutes under water and can even withstand water jets. Xperia™ Tablet Z is even put in a dust chamber for rigorous testing, to make sure its operations were unaffected.
Microsoft has announced Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 at an event in New York.
Surface Pro 2 features Windows 8.1, while Surface 2 will feature the Windows 8.1 retread of Windows RT, known asWindows 8.1 RT.
Surface chief Panos Panay claimed the new tablets could continue Surface helping "people get away from their iPad and be more productive".
We're long-time fans of Surface on TechRadar, even if we thought that Surface Pro was too expensive and Surface RT was too limited (due to the Windows Store app-dependent Windows RT).
Surface 2 is the new Surface RT
The faster, lighter and thinner 10.6-inch Surface 2 comes in black and silver and now features a 1080p Full HD display as well as an Nvidia Tegra 4 ARM-based processor.
We'd expected it to be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chip, due to that company's relationship with Nokia and Windows Phone. However, Nvidia has been a Windows RT (Windows on ARM) partner from the start.
Microsoft thinks you'll get up to 10 hours of video playback out of the battery. As for cameras, we're looking at a 3.5MP front-mounted snapper and a 5MP lens on the back. There's also USB 3.0.
"We've added the Surface logo. You're using a Surface, you want people to know you're using a surface," Microsoft's Panos Panay said optimistically.
Surface 2 comes with Office
Surface 2 still comes with Microsoft Office 2013 on the desktop, but now boasts a special version of Outlook 2013 - Outlook RT. Panay demonstrated the processing power of Surface 2 by showing us all four Office apps running simultaneously.
Surface 2 price and release date
Surface 2 pre-orders open on September 24, with the 32GB model starting from £359 in the UK and $449 in the US. A 64GB model will also be available and it will cost £439 in the UK and $549 in the US.
Although you can pre-order pretty soon, there's a bit of a wait for the actual tablet to materialise: the Surface 2 release date is set for October 22 in 22 initial markets, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
China will follow in early November. Additional countries will be announced in the coming months, says Microsoft.
Surface Pro 2 is the new Surface Pro
The latest-generation Intel Haswell Core i5-powered Surface Pro 2 features a 20 percent speed improvement and 50 per cent graphics bump as well as beefed up sound thanks to Dolby. The screen is the same ClearType HD display, but with 46 percent improved color accuracy.
The kickstand also has more angles it's positioned at 22 degrees, though you can readjust to 55 degrees), while battery power is 75 per cent up - we're pretty relieved about that, since the Surface Pro is pretty poor on battery life.
To demo the new and improved Surface Pro 2's PC-like capabilities, Microsoft edited raw 6K film, which has a resolution of nine times that of HD.
The Surface Pro 2 features 4GB/8GB memory configurations and 256GB and 512GB configurations.
Surface 2 accessories
But there will be new peripherals launched to go with the new Surface - including a Surface Docking Station, Surface Power Cover (with integrated 30W battery) and new colour Type Cover and Touch Cover colors. There's also a Car Charger with USB and an Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition.
The Surface Docking Station comes complete with three USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.0 slot, a mini DisplayPort, Ethernet, audio In, audio Out and power.
The backlit Type Cover has 1mm taken out of the travel of the keys, so it's now almost as thin as the original Touch Cover.
Microsoft says the Power Cover brings the Surface Pro into the realm of all-day use (improves overall life by 2.5x), while the Surface Pro simply slides in and out of the Docking Station.
Surface Pro 2 price and release date
The Surface Pro 2 price starts at $899 in the US and £719 in the UK, available in 64GB and 128GB configurations with 4GB of RAM. Bump it up to 8GB of RAM and the Pro 2 can come in 256GB and 512GB flavors.
Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 come with free Skype calling
To help people get the most out of Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2, Microsoft says that buyers will also get free Skype calling to landlines in more than 60 countries for one year plus unlimited Skype Wi-Fi and 200 GB of free SkyDrive storage for two years. That's pretty cool.
Original Surface problems
It seemed sure that a new Surface 2 running Windows RT was imminent due to price reductions and now Microsoft has sent out invites to the media for a New York City event which is now getting underway.
Despite the many problems and drawbacks, Microsoft says it is committed to Windows on ARM, although a cynic would say that Windows Phone also runs on ARM, so it could be that Microsoft is referring to.
By general concensus the Surface RT hasn't done that well, although we've never been crystal clear on how many slates Microsoft has sold with RT.
But the fact there's now a price cut amounting to $150 per model (equal to £98, AU$163) and a $900 million accounting writedown in the company's financials is a sure sign the numbers aren't stellar.
