    What specs would make the LumiaTab a "must have" device?

    Obviously Nokia will have a challenge when it starts competing against the likes of the iPad, Galaxy Tab, Kindle Fire, and other tablets, but the company cannot be underestimated. In your opinion, what specs and price points will make it a real challenger in the tablet world?

    that pure view camera techinology on a camera would certainly make it the best camera on a tablet ever.

    I agree with androidbruce, I'd love to see a Windows Tablet with Tegra 3. I really love my Xoom, though.

    Docking keyboard and ability to add USB Storage and HDM Monitor.

    Then I could dock it in and use a a desktop.

    Under $600 and $500 would be better.

    I really can't wait for ARM builds of Windows 8 on Asus Transformer type devices, it's going to be so awesome to have a full desktop interface and the Metro UI in a detachable tablet/laptop.

    True Haptic Touch so you could feel keys while typing. First tablet to come out with a real version of this will take the notebook market by storm.

    I would say Wacom pen input is my main want out of any tablet. I was dismayed when the new iPad didn't have stylus support. It would help for notes, and Microsoft has already devoted a lot of support for stylus support in previous versions of Windows

    i think that the nokia tablet should have some specs which allows to stand out from the masses.
    First it definitely should have a polycarbonat (like the lumia 800) body and wacom pen support. (business users!)
    It must be easy to conect with a normal pc/notebook (usb!) and it's not necessary to have a big internal storage (8 or 16gb should be enough, rather a little bit cheaper), but it must have a SD-slot!

    There should be standards for the construction of windows tablets (bluetooth,usb), because then keyboard docking stations and everything like that would be more popular and cheaper!
    Also a better integration of skydive (just do it like dropbox, or better ) would be perfect!

    we don't need another ipad clone and in my opinion most of the potential users of a nokia tab don't bother if there is a quad or dual core working inside, it just have to work smooth. Also the resolution of the screen doesn't have to be the best of the world, i would prefer a longer standby and operating time.

    Windows 8 builds SkyDrive into the OS, much like Dropbox! I do think they need a high resolution display though, and Microsoft is supporting resolutions higher than what the new iPad offers!

    A lot of the current Windows 7 tablets carry it, but as for ARM devices, only the Galaxy Note 10.1 has anything close to pressure sensitive stylus support. I have a Bamboo Pen tablet and it is terrific! A tablet with support for pressure sensitivity would be the be-all, end-all for me

    That's why Windows 8 is built for tablets!

    I don't think any specs will create a must-have device for me. Tablets will never be worth $500+ for me, and unless Windows/Nokia can find a way to create a strong tablet that is sub-$300, I'll end up going to Android for my slate computing needs.

    Don't do that to yourself. The iPad, or maybe this "Lumia Tab," will be better than any $300 Android tablet. I have ICS on the Touchpad and I'd easily take the iPad's proven tablet apps or Windows 8's Metro over the current tablet situation. The core experience isn't bad, but the app support and the "wow" features aren't there yet.

    The thing is, though, I don't need a mobile desktop experience. I just need something so I don't wear out my phone's battery and have a relatively large keyboard to type out notes in class. A hard keyboard is really the only feature I really, really want.

    The app support on Android is lacking, and I've yet to find a killer notes app. Plus, you'll find more keyboards and keyboard docks with an iPad. I just wouldn't recommend it at this time, and I can't see it improving in the near future
