Next-gen mini-Tablet PC/eBook hybrid, available in the 'post-Longhorn' timeframe, could be the star of this week's Microsoft show.
While this year's Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) here this year will be heavily focused on 64-bit processing, it also will serve as a showcase for new kinds of smaller, portable laptop and Tablet PC devices.
Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, who is slated to deliver the Monday morning kick-off keynote address for the show — which is expected to be attended by 2,800-plus hardware and software developers — will show off three new "inherently mobile and connected" small form-factor devices, company officials said.
In addition, on Tuesday, Bill Mitchell, Microsoft Vice President of Mobile Platforms, is on the docket to discuss "Trends and Opportunities for Tomorrow's Mobile PC" at WinHEC.
