Microsoft claims that they are tired of Apple dominating the tablet market. Microsoft claims that they can make a better tablet. Tomorrow is put up or shut up for Microsoft. Some even claim that if Ballmer doesn’t nail this one, he just might be out of a job.
So, what exactly is Microsoft up to tomorrow? Rumor has it that Microsoft will unveil a Microsoft branded Windows 8 Tablet. The folks over at TechCrunch are taking it a step further and are claiming that it will be co-branded as a Nook device that will also have various Xbox’s streaming features. In other words, you will be able to read a book and stream video content from HBO and ESPN. Don’t most tablets already do that? Oh well. If it is a tablet, welcome to the party Microsoft, three years late is better than never. Or is it?
So it’s going to be slow, locked down, have a butt-ugly UI, and expensive as all hell?
like your mom.
haha kidding, kidding. she’s a very nice lady, I hear.
Oh hardy har har.
But seriously, no. This sounds like a terrible idea.
I wholeheartedly agree.
Yeah, I agree with you guys – I don’t have much hope for MS on their “major” announcement either.
