Where is the Microsoft tablet?

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

Less than a year after deploying the original iPad tablet, Apple will make a second iteration available in stores at the end of this week: the sleeker, internally beefier iPad 2. Meanwhile, Google and its original equipment manufacturer partners will be flooding the tablet market this year with Honeycomb devices using the Android 3.0 operating system And Research In Motion will release the BlackBerry PlayBook in the next month or so and even Palm has been resurrected via Hewlett-Packard’s webOS TouchPad, coming this summer.

Who’s missing?

Most federal employees seem to be waiting for Microsoft to release a tablet to compete with Apple and Google. Feds trust Microsoft and they like the interoperability it can offer across the enterprise. In contrast, Apple is not focused on the business enterprise per se, and Android still represents the Wild West of mobile operating systems, a problem (for now) in risk-averse federal IT departments.

Dell Unveils 10-Inch Windows 7 Tablet

Monday, February 14th, 2011

Dell expanded its foray into tablets with a new 10-inch Windows 7-based device designed, the company said, for users “who need greater mobility, as well as IT organizations that demand control, security, manageability, and integration with existing infrastructure investments.”

The Windows 7 Business Tablet, which will run on an Intel processor, could be available by the middle of the year (note that the tablet in the above photo is a nonworking mock-up of the machine).

The tablet was among 39 new products unveiled at the company’s Dell Means Business event in San Francisco this morning. They include laptops, desktops, workstations, and a convertible tablet, the Latitude XT3 (a follow-up to the laptop/tablet hybrid XT2).

But the news out of the event likely to grab the most attention is the Win tablet, even though details on specs remain scant and we don’t yet have a price or a release date beyond sometime later this year.

RIM Tablet ‘BlackPad’ vs. Apple iPad: 10 Features It Needs to Succeed

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Rumors continue to circulate that RIM will unveil a tablet perhaps before the end of September or early October. For now, details on the rumored tablet are scant, but the Wall Street Journal is reporting that the device will include a 7-inch display, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a new operating system that RIM has yet to unveil. There is no word on pricing or availability.

At this point, the report is nothing more than a rumor. There also is both a chance that RIM won’t announce a new tablet or that all the details the Wall Street Journal has published are wrong. Simply put, until RIM makes a stand one way or another, all the talk about what a RIM tablet might look like is pure speculation.

But if RIM does, in fact, plan to introduce a tablet, there are some features the device must have. There are other things that RIM will need to keep out of its tablet in order for it to compete with Apple’s iPad, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, and other competitors that are coming along.

Dell Inspiron Duo Transforming Tablet

Friday, September 17th, 2010

Dell may have breathed new life into the netbook, showing off a model that’s able to swing its touchscreen into tablet mode on a nifty new kind of hinge.

Presented at Intel show IDF the Inspiron Duo 10-inch didn’t look particularly impressive or different compared to what we’ve already seen this year from tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab. It had a dual-core Atom processor running Windows 7 Premium rather than Android, and was shown off running popular touchscreen game Plants vs Zombies.

But then the real fun started. It was revealed that the tablet could split open, revealing a large keyboard underneath. The screen can swivel within its frame, turning into a slimline netbook. This is much neater than the clunky horizontal swivels that tablet laptops traditionally use.
