Isaiah's Tech

Everything that you really need to know is in the slide above. Unveiled at WPC 2010 (which started yesterday), Microsoft has just announced that a bunch of Windows 7 tablets (Slates) and Windows Phone 7 handsets are coming within the next year. This includes big names like: Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, Lenovo, Samsung, MSI, Onkyo, Panasonic, Pegatron, Sony, and Toshiba. Of course, you'll see HP on the list as well so the official HP Slate could be coming as well. These tablets are going to come in various shapes and sizes, you'll also be seeing different displays as well; some tablets will feature dockable keyboards, full touch, and even digital ink. I still can't help myself by saying that Microsoft is looking to go for quantity over quality right now, just slapping the Windows 7 OS on tablets - that won't work.

Of course, on the other side you have the list of manufacturers on board for Windows Phone 7. This includes: Dell, HTC, Garmin-Asus, LG, Sony Ericsson, and Toshiba. Surprisingly enough, HP isn't on the list so maybe theirs will be coming next year - or maybe they're sticking to WebOS now that they've bought Palm.
