Microsoft will take yet another stab at the iPad’s supremacy by demoing Windows 7 tablets at CES 2011, according to the New York Times. Microsoft chairman and CEO Steve Ballmer will reportedly showcase devices from Samsung and Dell as well as other manufacturers at the show. Apparently Microsoft’s encouraging partners to build apps for these devices focusing on HTML5. Redmond will also demonstrate a tablet and other devices running Windows 8, the Times stated.
I blame Steve Balmer. He seems like the kind of guy who jumps onboard only after someone else creates a product. For expample Apple and the iPod, then Microsoft responded with the Zune. Now Apple will be close to generation 2 of the iPad and Microsoft has yet to help release any kind of decent product. The problem is Microsoft at the very least needs to be developing these products much faster. They fall behind and then nobody really cares.
