Well if you know something other then bada ... you had to know that if MS copies the iPad they wont get sued ... cuz Microsoft are smart and they have cross-patent agreement... So i guess too bad for you :)

Seriously man... All your posts are MS bashing and are getting boring.

I did not mean this as MS bashing. In fact, if samsung does not release a tablet with bada, i'm very likely going to buy the quead core tablet they have on picture.

All i was saying is that the second tablet looks big and heavy, and i'm definietely not buying that one.

they arent selling it dude... dont worry. it is just a prototype for sure. no one is releasing any 1 inch thick tablet now because manufacturing processes are now on 32nm-45nm. smaller and smaller.

Ummm ... M$ has had Tablets out for years! The TC1000 came out in 2003 / 2004. I don't think Apple has a lock on the tablet design.

Now touch interface, etc might be a different issue, but since the Windows Phone doesn't seem to be meeting any real opposition from Apple then I do not believe a new Windows tablet will either!

Plus Bill Gates helped to start Apple. Him and Steve Jobs Are good friends...

That and Microsoft still owns a controlling stake in apple, as many apple fans conveniently forget...

Not a controlling stake somewhere in the low 20%'s 22% if I'm not mistaken. But not positive on the number but it's not 51% or higher I'm sure of that fact.

I personally think that Windows 8 looks ugly because of the live tiles. However i'd rather buy a windows 8 tablet than ipad or Android. Best thing of course would be a bada, or maybe a MeeGo or Symbian tablet, which would be my first choice.

Dear daveywavey,

This is a website that posts news about new technology, Tablet PC's, Smartphones, Computers, etc...
It does not post about Technology Architects who don't iron their shirts.

Dear SwagginErdie,

Please get a sense of humor, make a tight fist, and shove it.
