Frankly, I’m getting pretty excited about it. I’ve read in a few places that the Surface tablet will be like the Surface ‘table’ computer in that it will be able to ‘see’ what it placed on it. If you’ve never seen any of the Surface demos on YouTube, you should go peek now.
I showed this iPad vs Windows 8 (beta) tablet to a colleague and some friends. There are some pretty compelling new features, reminiscent of a conglomeration of WebOS and other tablets that make my wallet nervous …
Oh – and to be clear, the Windows tablet above is *not* the surface. Here’s a Microsoft promotional for the Surface tablet
I’m very much excited knowing that microsoft surface tablet pc will be powered by Windows 8 and the RT version will use a core i5 processor which I think could really operate faster than other tablets. The keyboard/cover idea is also cool knowing there are different colors.
Lenovo just announce the ThinkPad Tablet 2. It will run Windows 8 Pro using an Intel Atom processor. Thus, this tablet should cost the same as an iPad but it will run a desktop operating system!
The RT version doesn’t have an i5 in it. thats the Pro version which i doubt will cost less than $1000. The RT has an ARM based processor in it which is comparable to higher end tablets out right now.
