Nokia appears to be pushing ahead with its Lumia 2520 Windows RT tablet despite Microsoft's plan to acquire its devices business. A newly leaked photo from the Evleaks Twitter account shows Nokia's tablet in a cyan color. At first glance it looks like a large-screen Lumia Windows Phone, but the Windows button in the center and volume buttons on the side show it's clearly a tablet. The similarities explain Nokia's reason to continue the Lumia brand even for its tablets.
