talked in recent days of the new Apple tablet and its output can be short, in the meantime the CEO of Microsoft Steve Ballmer on Wednesday unveiled a new evening tablet manufactured by Hewlett-Packard Co , beating Apple on time. But analysts are skeptical about the possibility that Microsoft and HP are able to excite the audience as could be done instead of the long-awaited Apple tablet, which could be presented on January 27th, even though the company has not so far announced has nothing merito.Ballmer showed the new product at the end of his speech at the technology fair in Las Vegas, CES. "I think many customers will be very excited about this great little PC, which will be available later this year, "said Ballmer, using your fingers to browse through an electronic book using the electronic software Kindle by Amazon.com. Ballmer did not state the price of new product and even the date on which it will be for sale. Previously, the New York Times pointed out that the tablet could arrive in stores in mid 2010. Microsoft, the world number one information technology, and HP, the leading manufacturer of computer, are the latest companies in order of time to focus on the tablets, products that fill in some ways the gap between laptops and smartphones.
Roger Kay, an analyst with Endpoint Technologies, says that both companies have experience in the design of devices such touch-sensitive tablet, but that the interest of consumers in the field has never lived up to what the media write. The thing, however, he adds, could change if Apple falls on the field. For Microsoft and HP has always been hard to excel when Apple launched its own product.
"Obviously part of the giant Apple ago. The other manufacturers are rushing to bring out new products before Apple is defining the market," says Kay. "HP could point to secure a slice of the market before Apple makes its move."
