The, “…people with knowledge of the plans,” said testing on a Microsoft tablet would start later this year. A release would tie in with recent chatter surrounding a Dell Windows 8 tablet, which was spied on a leaked roadmap from the PC maker.
Such a delay would doubtless harm Microsoft in its attempts to show it has what it takes in the tablet space. By summer next year, the iPad will have been around for over two years, while Android tablets will be even more advanced than the current Google offerings.
Is Microsoft making a huge mistake in not looking to rush out a tablet? Should it use Windows Phone 7 instead of Windows 8? Let us know what you think via our Facebook and Twitter pages.
