Microsoft will release a tablet earlier than Apple?

    “Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer today announced the release of a tablet computer manufactured by Hewlett-Packard. The head of Microsoft will make his announcement during a speech at the International Consumer Electronics Show, ”writes The New York Times yesterday.

    There is nothing about the announcement on tapes yet, but all this is especially curious against the backdrop of an increasing wave of talk about the release of the Apple tablet, which will be released only in a few weeks.

    So far, we can say about the Microsoft device that it is still nameless, has a multitouch touch screen and e-book function, and will go on mass sale in the middle of the year. Apparently, devices with touchscreens will account for the lion's share of new products at the current CES. By the way, HP and Lenovo have already announced this week new netbooks with touch screen support.
