"Direct PC seller Gateway plans on Monday to start selling its first tablet PC.
As previously reported, Gateway is co-branding with Motion Computing a tablet developed by the start-up company. The device, which runs Microsoft's Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system, weighs 3 pounds and has a 12-inch screen. It will carry both companies' logos.
By partnering with Motion, Gateway was able to have a tablet PC on shelves sooner than if it had developed the product itself, said Gateway senior product manager Chad McDonald.
