Why should Nokia develop Win8 applications?

Nokia used to use its Music service only on Lumia Windows Phone, so it's a weird thing to start extending this service to any device on Windows 8 and Windows RT. There have been rumors that the company is developing its own Windows RT tablet, but the latest news indicates that the project has been suspended and turned to develop Windows 8 version.

Nokia has "speaking empty talk" & rdquo; its tablet plan for several months, and its entry into the Windows 8 application area may be paving the way for a grand Lumia tablet unveiling ceremony.
