Microsoft: Tablet PCs to Ship in October
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates presided over the company's annual CEO Summit this week, and promised that the Tablet PC would ship in October and rejuvenate PC sales. After a bizarre start as a slab-like tablet, the Tablet PC has morphed into a convertible laptop, a far more viable form factor. The 100 visiting CEOs were loaned prototype Tablet PCs to check out for a few months, an attempt at driving excitement for the new platform. But I'm not so sure it needs any more hype: The Tablet PC is cool, and people are going to want them.
