HP Windows 8 Tablets Plans for 2012 Could Give Rivals a Run for their Money

[Exorcizm]

All the tablet manufacturers from around the world are working hard to bring out new tablets which could become strong rivals to the Apple iPad. And definitely Apple is not unassailable when it comes to selling devices since Samsung’s Android handsets have outsold Apple’s iPhone in the third quarter.

But the iPad is still ruling the market, although many Android tablets are posing a big threat to the tablet’s survival.

And now, it seems like more trouble is waiting around the corner. HP has confirmed plans to launch their Windows 8 tablets next year.

Neither, but this could be potential news, something to add to the market to take on Apple

If the price is right then more people will turn to this new platform! But, too early to say whether this will be hit or miss to be fair. Hope Windows 8 kicks off for the tablet market so people don't have to worry about getting screwed over with the Ipad ("want to turn it on, their is an app for that £££/$$$!) and even though Android is also another perfectly good offering, the arrival of Windows 8 will force them to wage war on price and features.

You have a good point on this, wonder what others have to say

I have to agree. If the price comes down in them and get better I might consider buying one.
