Nokia Accidentally Revealed Its New Tablet?

At a launch party for the Nokia Lumia 620 in Pakistan it seems like Nokia accidentally tipped it's hand for there upcoming tablet devices. Nokia was introducing the Nokia Lumia 620 phone when one of the images in the background showed what appeared to be a Lumia-styled tablet with the same style that you might expect from the Nokia Lumia handsets. It is described as having "a thin bezel, colorful casing and rounded sides." If you look in the picture you can see a Lumia like tablet on the screen. This included a tablet which does not appear to look like any we have seen before, but shares the distinctive colourful and rounded styling of Nokia's Lumia handsets.

Nokia's New Tablet in the Picture

There is some speculation that Nokia has been working on a Windows RT tablet, and back in December we passed along the word that the slate was to have a 10.1 inch screen, offer cellular connectivity, and have a cover with a physical QWERTY keyboardlike the Touch Cover for the Microsoft Surface RT. Unlike the Touch Cover for the latter device, Nokia's cover would have a kickstand and an embedded battery that would extend the battery life of the tablet while also recharging the battery on the tablet itself. It also would protect the slate. It is unclear if this would come with the tablet or be offered as an accessory. Those close to Nokia's plans said at the time that a small number of units would be built with Windows RT powering the tablet and that eventually there would be a Windows 8 model. Nokia is rumoured to have a Windows tablet in the works, though it has also been rumoured that this project has been cancelled while Nokia focuses on their Lumia handsets. If there is a Nokia tablet in the works, we should see it later this month at MWC 2013 in Barcelona. If not, it probably means that the rumors that Nokia has decided to stop thinking about a tablet in order to concentrate on its handsets, is true. Design certainly looks like something Nokia could come up with, but the question is if that's an actual product or just a placeholder.   What do you think? Is this Nokia new tablet they are going to introduce at Mobile World Congress?
