Microsoft shows off new tablet computer and Xbox Natal at CES2010-01-08 10:49 by DanielaTags: Microsoft, Xbox Natal, tablet
A new Hewlett-Packard tablet computer, a BlackBerry projector and the motion-controlled Xbox Natal were just some of the products announced on the second day of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The new announcements come as thousands of attendees, along with dozens of electronics manufacturers, converge on the city to promote some of the most anticipated products of the year for the tech industry. The biggest event of the day was Microsoft's press conference, in which it announced two major products – a tablet computer from Hewlett Packard and a release date for the motion-controlled Xbox Natal technology. Chief executive Steve Ballmer announced the tablet device, saying it was a gadget "that's almost as portable as a phone and that's as powerful as a PC running Windows 7". "I'm running Kindle software for the PC on it, it lets me flip through the book using touch, I can experience the book in full colour, I can buy and download more content from Amazon with this application." The device itself is about as large as an A4 piece of paper, with a silver edging. While Ballmer didn't show much of the device apart from the Kindle software, it is suspected HP is saving many of the details until its release in the middle of the year. Read more -here-
