World Eagerly Waiting for Windows 8 Based Tablets

The world of Tablet is currently filled with a lots of cheap Android based so Called iPad killers/Clones and some expensive android tablets but iPad stands out to be the topmost tablet in terms of market share along with the internet traffic share as well.

Then came the Build conference and Microsoft unveiled their new Offering the Windows 8,the all in one operating system ranging from the desktop,laptops to the tablets with a highly optimized innovative Metro UI and hardware acceleration and lots more features like reduction in run time memory for efficient usage,Windows 8 is going to launch in 2012 with wide range of hardware devices but the surveys have already started flowing into Windows 8 directions with many recent surveys predicting a huge marketshare for Windows based tablets in the coming years.

New entrant in the survey is Boston Consulting Group (BCG) which conducted a research to ask people about what is their preferred Operating System on the Tablets ,according to the survey 4 out of 10 people who were questioned said that they would prefer using Windows based system,while iOS was preferred by 34% chinese people and 27 % Americans ,while android was no where closer to both of them with 18-20 % preference.

So with the rise of the Windows 8 and fall of the ecosystems like Web OS this might very well be the opening microsoft is looking for and the stage is already set for a big leap from microsoft to eye for the Number one slot and not end up being the close second or third to iOS.

I have an Android 3.2 tablet that is a nice gadget but just does not have much for productivity apps that I use.

Let’s just hope that Windows 8 tablets offers all the advantages users demand of tablets (long battery life, extremely short “load time”, excellent screen quality, device and storage interfaces, etc.) while also having a strong selection of key productivity application available for their tablet version of the OS. This probably means many developers porting Windows 8 versions of their software to support ARM processors. I think we all hope a new version of MS Office for Windows 8 runs well on the lower power and lower cost chipsets. Oh, one more thing…. The price point for massive popularity of Windows 8 tablets should be $299 for 10″ tablets. Maybe that is wishful thinking.

Microsoft most likely screw it up like the zune touch… Zune was a great device with no purpose and could of should of been the iPod touch killer but Microsoft never put the support or effort into it… Windows 8 tablet will be no diffrance only way they can pull this of and kill the iPad 2 is allowing the windows 8 is tablets be as power full as its pc OS counter parts and give it what the customers want full flash support.. As I type this I’m using the Ipad 2 iOS 5. Only way I’ll give up iOS Tablet based system for windows is full flash support and it be more like a pc…

  Flash is not really needed. But you also get flash. All you have do click the bottom left button and it goes from Metro tablet to traditional windows in the palm of your hand. You can run all the flash you want or watch what ever questionable movie you like. Hmmmmm Flash, lets face it that is why many men want flash. LOL. Either way you get it with Windows 8.
