If x86 tablets can achieve near iPad form factors, I see very little reason for Windows RT/ Windows on Arm tablets to exist. This is one reason I feel my NOK investment is to a degree, backstopped. The success of x86 Windows 8 is assured. The success of Windows 8 on Arm (now called Windows RT) is not. I am certain MS is very, very concerned about this. My guess is Nokia/Dell become very important here. I wouldn't put it past MS to give Nokia another huge pile of cash to help ensure a truly dedicated Win RT platform push and unique device showcasing it. Samsung will put out a Win8 RT device for sure; but they continually hedge their bets with Android and try to be all things to all people. My two cents.
