Nokia has been busy crafting a tablet device for the past few years. The development started even before Microsoft's Surface was announced. Since then, there hasn't any concrete information passed on by blogger community.

 

This time around a patent application has surfaced, which was filed by the Finnish giant, back in 2011. Known by the name "Apparatus Cover with Keyboard", it is very much like Surface detachable keyboard( via Unwired View).

 

As per the shown images, one can change the positioning of cover as per convenience. This could be Nokia's attempt to take on Apple iPad. If that is the case, one could see Lumia branded tablet device as early as this year.
