Nokia have just begun embracing the Windows Phone operating systems in their smartphones and  they've now announced that they'll be launching a Windows Tablet.

In an interview with Les Echos the head of Nokia France confirmed that they will be launching a Windows 8 powered tablet next year. Infact, he went one further and suggested that it would launch in the Summer of 2012.

The Windows 8 platform aims to provide a unified operating system for all devices including mobiles, PCs , tablets and even games consoles. It'll build on the successful interface of Windows 7 and enhance it even further.

In the past Nokia have launched a number of Internet Tablets including the Nokia 770 and Nokia 800, but this will be the first full-factor tablet they've produced. There is absolutely zero information about the Nokia tablet , which we  assume is only in the concept stage.

Nokia are keen to gain back smartphone share and hope they've started the road to recovery with the Lumia 800, but why not have a pop at the tablet market as well ?

Once 3G hear news of the Nokia Windows 8 tablet we'll let you know.
