Samsung’s mysterious Windows 8 transforming tablet will be announced at IFA 2012
Share:
We first saw Samsung prototypes of a tablet with a keyboard dock in June with the Samsung Series 5 Hybrid. It also featured a keyboard dock, a slot for a stylus and a screen around 11 inches in size. We expect to be finally able to see the final product around August 31st when IFA kicks off.
Samsung is advertizing this transforming tablet with the cryptic question “ready to be smart?” Well, if you are puzzled by how you can prepare to be “smart” and how would this tablet allow you to suddenly become smart (obviously, that’s the intended message), you’re not alone.

It is innovation that Samsung respects it Not litigation.

i think samsung is using the name "transform" for their upcoming WIndows 8 tablets.
"Galaxy" for Android.
"Transform" for Windows.

this is why MS did the Surface, for companies like Samsung to come out with something better.

I'm waiting for them to get sued by Asus for the Transform name.

oh, maybe you've heard before or not, Asus already got sued by Hasbro for using the name "Transformer Prime"

Yes but Hasbro's claim is that ASUS's computer name is too similar to their line of toys and one of the character names. Asus would be complaining that Samsung is using a name for a tablet that is too similar to their tablet line. Big difference between those claims. Asus has a reasonable shot of winning both cases in my opinion. After all, we have United Airlines and United Vanlines sharing very similar names because they are in different product lines (both transportation but one for moving trucks the other an airline) so there's no reason why they can't win against Hasbro. Nobody is going to confuse a tablet with a truck that turns into a robot. But in the tablet market, it's reasonable to assume that there could be confusion between a Transform and a Transformer.

I hope this is going to be the 11.6 incher with a very high resolution!

what about the processor ? hopefully not atom, otherwise, its as good as RT... i mean i know RT is a tablet OS like iPad, and windows pro is a full fledged PC OS, but atom is just useless, everyhthing is slow...

in general, there's no reason why you would get an android tablet or an ipad when you can get a windows 8 tablet... i've never tried kindle, but samsung tablets' ui is just terrible : stuttery, a bit unresponsive...i cant say its android, perhaps its the skin overlay by samsung...am getting a windows 8 tablet for sure...
