Even before Windows 8 was released, it was certain that eventually we would be seeing some tablets entering the 7” market. That side of things has simply gotten to be too big for anybody to pass up. Microsoft’s own guidelines have largely prevented it from being a viable option, however. They’re finally coming around, however, [...]

Nokia isn’t exactly a newcomer to the tablet market. They were behind some fairly nice devices in this area even before the iPad took off and brought the form into the mainstream. It’s been years since we’ve seen anything from them, though. Apparently they feel that now is the time to make a big entrance [...]
For the first time, we have a new version of Windows whose success rests more on the novelty and power of available hardware than it does on software performance. The success of Windows 8 will be determined by its adoption rate in the consumer market. While Microsoft has come up with a large array of [...]
HP might have decided that the ARM side of Windows 8 tablets wasn’t going to work out for them right now, but Samsung appears ready to fill in the gap. The makers of the most popular Android tablet on the market today (excluding the Kindle Fire since it is cut off from the Android ecosystem) [...]
Apparently much of the speculation was on the ball with today’s big Microsoft reveal. We’re finally looking at a Microsoft-made competitor for the iPad and initial impressions are favorable. The Surface, as it is known, will be available in both Windows RT and Windows 8 models. Ideally, it will work as a complete netbook replacement [...]
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if after months of building up to a real product, the anticipated Google tablet was completely blown away by Microsoft doing the same thing even better? According to current speculation, that may be exactly where things are headed. A sudden and less than detailed invitation went out a couple days ago [...]
Our first glimpse of what the next version of Microsoft Office is going to look like on Windows RT was finally revealed during the keynote presentation at TechEd North America. TechEd is Microsoft’s big IT conference, drawing in developers for the purpose of keeping them educated and up to date on all the most important [...]
The one thing that people seem to agree on about Windows 8 is that at the moment the experience on a touch screen is far simpler to get used to than that offered by a keyboard and mouse. Metro is designed to work perfectly with a tablet, so that doesn’t come as a surprise to [...]
It is hard to imagine anybody developing tablet apps for a living who has not managed to get their hands on an iPad yet. Let’s face it, that’s the only way to tap into the market at this point given that developers are reported to make almost five times as much on their iPad offerings [...]
Apple’s recent release of the third generation of iPads (known simply as the iPad, but referred to here as the iPad 3 for clarity) has markedly improved the popular tablet in some ways, but at the same time failed to impress many people. More of an incremental update than a significant improvement, it is entirely [...]
