Microsoft, with no doubts, is still a big name in computers while trying to competing in smartphone war with its Windows Phone platform and recent partnership with Nokia. Now after staying in news for quite a few months, Microsoft is now all set to uncover its Windows 8 to ARM-based tablets coming Monday, June 18.
AllThingsD has published a story telling that Microsoft has scheduled an event in Los Angeles where it’s expected to show its new tablets according to their source who is not a company insider.
The company has scheduled an event on Monday in Los Angeles where it is expected to show devices running the software as well as highlight some of the kinds of programs and services that will run on the products, according to sources outside the company.
Microsoft is confirming the L.A. event but is not offering any details on what will be covered.
ATD also added “By contrast, Redmond has released three public test versions of Windows 8 for Intel and AMD chips and said it expects to finalize the code in the coming weeks. As for Windows RT, as the version for ARM chips is known, Microsoft has said it expects some machines using the new software to debut around the same time as Windows 8 machines running on traditional PC processors.”
On the other side TheWrap has mentioned some really interesting factor about the event that Microsoft is going to announce its own manufactured Windows based tablet to compete directly with Apple to stand with their iPads.
But an individual with knowledge of the company said that Microsoft would introduce a Microsoft-manufactured tablet at the event, marking a foray into a new hardware category that would put the company in direct competition with giant rival Apple.
It’s just two days jump, we’ll see if this really gonna be an event with these expectations or this news also ends up being just a rumor.
