The MS Tablet - nice app, but why's it a PC? | |

First of all, what is it? It is The Register's opinion that Microsoft itself has had a great deal of trouble figuring this one out, and still hasn't entirely decided. This however won't necessarily prove fatal to the project, because there are designs covering the obvious form factors in the works from numerous manufacturers, and the market (or possibly Intel) will therefore be able to decide. But the early Microsoft demo units as first Bill-ed at Comdex were slate-like Transmeta Crusoe units, whereas quite a bit of the action right now seems to be in the convertible area, as second Bill-ed at Comdex last year. | ||

This is what one would call the epitome of truely dumbass "journalism".
The first device shown was a prototype.... is that such a hard thing to understand? In reality, all the devices are still the same basic formfactor (a device that can be viewed in portrait or landscape, and has no keyboard), it's just that some companies have decided to make it a clamshell style along with that same TPC formfactor, so you can still use it as a regular laptop. There is no identity crisis here for Microsoft. |
