Intel and Microsoft are preparing a new platform for the tablets, influencing the producers of tablets in hopes of a successful competition with Apple iPad. It is expected that tablets which may appear in 2012 will be more successful than models featuring «ARM + Android» combination. Most manufacturers are disappointed with the fact that sales of tablets on ARM + Android were lower than expected. And they are blaming errors in the Android OS on one hand and the attractive image of the brand Apple on the other hand, manufacturers are figuring out options for changing their strategy.
Focusing on the needs of tablets manufacturers Intel and Microsoft recently introduced their plan to create Wintel platform for tablets. The new version of the platform will include the Intel processor with a TDP of less than 5 watts and Microsoft Windows 8 operating system.
It is expected that Intel will set lower prices for the new processors to encourage manufacturers to switch to Microsoft Windows 8 which will leave in the past all the problems with unfinished Android 3.0 and 3.1 OS's.
