With the assumption that Apple owns the Tablet arena being
correct based on market share but incorrect based on price (RIM has the
PlayBook at $200 being an awesome Tablet for most users); MSFT has a new device
to play with.
- Microsoft is arriving late to the game but here is a list of some interesting and innovative features:
- · No pricing or release date available as of the June 18 21012 announcement
- · Copycat magnetic cover BUT includes a built in keyboard
- · Built in Kickstand to prop the tablet up
- · Digital Ink with the ability to mark up documents with a virtual pen
- · Windows RT OS for tablets OR Windows 8 PRO for using traditional desktop applications like Microsoft Office Suite
It looks like Microsoft is looking to extend the Windows 8
experience to the tablet user and could be an interesting device for the super
happy Windows PC user looking to have a device within the Microsoft ecosystem
(Xbox included).
I would expect the release date to line up with the Christmas
season.
