Nokia chief designer Marko Ahtisaari has confirmed that the Finnish mobile giant is indeed working on a tablet, Fudzilla reported.

In an interview with Finnish magazine Kauppalehti Optio, Ahtisaari said he was spending a lot of time creating the new tablet, adding that it would stand out from other iPad wannabes.

Rumours of a Nokia Windows 8 tablet have been around for a while, but this is the first time we are hearing semi-official confirmation.

It is still unclear what to expect from Nokia, or when for that matter, but Digitimes recently reported that the new tablet will feature a 10-inch screen and a dual-core Qualcomm processor. Let’s hope it will also feature the build quality, premium finish and swanky design seen on the Lumia 800.
