For those technology loving fans around the world who may have had their heads buried under a rock in the last week, or been located somewhere that is detached from the world wide web then it may come as a shock to learn that Microsoft recently lifted the covers on a pretty sweet looking tablet, named the Microsoft Surface. Powered by Windows 8, the Surface looks like it will be a serious contender in the tablet space when released but somehow I don't think Apple are panicking just yet.
The next version of Microsoft Windows is just a few weeks away from completion and release, folks! After months of speculation, leaks, controversial keynotes and demonstrations, Developer/Consumer Previews, we’re closing in on the feature-complete RTM build. A report published earlier today suggests that the final build will be available in July. Details after the jump!
Despite having only been announced at the beginning of the week, the Microsoft Surface has become the most talked-about gadget on the planet, and by declining to comment on price and availability - a couple of reasonably important factors - the gossip chain has reached overdrive. To add a little extra spice to proceedings, Bloomberg reckons the highly anticipated tablet-ultrabook cross may initially only ship with Wi-Fi capabilities, which could certainly put a dampener on the general excitement within the tech sphere.
Microsoft’s recently announced Surface tablet is one of the most buzz-worthy product announcements in recent history. It is being seen by mobile technology enthusiasts as the first true competition to the iPad in a long time because of one solid reason. Based on Windows 8 - a desktop-class operating system - tablet that you can use for more than just consuming content, you can create documents in MS Office, make funny cat GIFs in Photoshop, develop the next big thing in Visual Studio etc. etc.
People wanting to see what Microsoft announced during its Windows Phone Summit today can now find out by watching the presentation in video format, right from the comfort of your own computer after the Redmond outfit published the entire thing online.
As the tech world continues to natter about the Microsoft Surface, which was announced earlier this week, the Redmond company has finally revealed the details of Windows Phone 8, and they are pretty impressive to say the least.
While Microsoft has been extremely busy over the past twelve months in developing and announcing new features and additions to its software roster, many were anxiously wondering when the Redmond outfit intended to whet the appetites of the gizmo-loving faithful with some new hardware, and yesterday at the rather unorthodox MSFT gathering, the software maker delivered with aplomb by announcing a unique device which not only threatens the future of the struggling ultrabook market, but also lights the proverbial blue touch paper at the tablet market, which currently only really consists of Apple's iPad.
After a quite incredible barrage of rumor and speculation, Steve Ballmer has officially announced Microsoft Surface, which will be the Redmond company's first effort in the increasingly-relevant tablet market. Given the poor performance of most competitors to the iPad, the significance of its introduction to the market could be huge, and here, we take a run-down of its vital statistics.
Although Apple and Google have both been working tirelessly in efforts to improve their respective software rosters, neither have matched the work ethic of Redmond-based Microsoft, which has been announcing enhancements to its services on an almost daily basis. In the latest, the software maker has revealed, on its mobile updates history page, details of its forthcoming Windows Phone Tango update.
Microsoft is set to announce a mystery product during an event today, with speculation currently doing the rounds as to what the Redmond outfit could potentially have up its sleeve. At this point it is clear that a Microsoft branded tablet is looking extremely likely, but new rumors suggest there may be a little more to it than that.
