According to a report filed by Reuters, Nokia’s new and upcoming Tablets will not be coming with Windows Phone 7. A source in common with the Finnish company’s plans told the publication that Nokia is weighing all options when it comes to tablets, and its now sleepy smartphone operating system — MeeGo — is a definite possibility. This February, Nokia announced that it would use Microsoft’s Windows Phone mobile operating systems on future, high-end smartphones. The company’s tablet plans are, however, still unknown. A recent patent filing found in the United States Patent and Trade Office’s database has reignited rumors that the mobile giant will be releasing a tablet.
