HTC is working on a Windows 8 Tablet
According to industry insider Eldar Murtazin, HTC is working on a Windows 8 slate that will be powered by a Qualcomm-built ARM chipset. HTC is usually the first vendor when it comes to portable OS launches from Microsoft. As was the case during launch of Windows Phone 7. Now HTC is possibly going to be the first manufacturer to run windows 8 in tablet form. The only difference here is that a large mass of PC vendors/manufacturers (the likes of Dell, HP, Samsung, Lenovo, Tosiba, Asus, Acer, MSI) that have the hardware equipped to run Windows 8 tablets already have their devices to boot.
Many tablet PC’s may emerge industry winners when it comes to quick boot Windows 8. Now if someone would port windows to our cheap Touchpads…..!
