Lumia 2520 Windows tablet imminent as per recent leaks

Nokia World is taking place in Abu Dhabi on November 22nd and looks like we're slated to see a Windows 8 tablet among other things. Serial Twitter  tipster @evleaks has revealed a render of the purported Lumia 2520, which is the first Windows powered tablet from Espoo, Finland and something the company had likely been working on before Microsoft acquired Nokia's mobile business.

Nokia already makes the best Windows Phone smartphones in the market so its entry into the tablet space is interesting specially since Microsoft recently launched the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 devices. Where will the Lumia 2520 (pictured above in Cyan but also leaked elsewhere in Red) fit in terms of specs and pricing? All will be revealed soon enough.
