The new tablets will run a version of Windows 8 called Widnows RT that is optimized for touchscreens and only offers the ‘Metro’ browsing interface that is similar to that used on Windows Phone.
The New samsung tablets will be launched when Windows 8 itself is revealed in Oct, Bloomberg revealed. They will boost Microsoft’s continuing bid to get into a tablet industry that is covered with Apple’s iPad, which delivered more than half the entire industry in the last quarter.
The 11.8 million iPads delivered showed a 58 percent share according specialist IHS ISuppli Inc. New samsung was second, with 11 percent, thanks to a mix of Windows seven and Google Operating system devices, while Amazon’s Kindle Fire took 5.8 percent.
HP has verified that it will not, however, be support Windows RT initially, instead keeping traditional, Intel-based Windows.
