We all knew that best-friends-and-partners Microsoft and Nokia would be jumping in bed as soon as Windows 8 was unveiled in its mobile format. But only now, after word from Bloomberg, are we near certain that Nokia World 2012 will see the first Windows 8 mobile, likely a new Lumia, unveiled on September 5th.
The official release date for Microsoft’s new multi-platform OS, Windows 8, is October 26th. So Nokia’s September unveiling might be more about the new Lumia handset than the OS itself.
Of course there’s also the chance this will be the full reveal for the mobile version while the desktop flavour, Windows 8 Pro, gets revealed in October. For now we wait – probably along with Apple – holding our breath for the chance to see the Microsoft Surface soon.
