Extending input with touch-first capabilities can make life easier, enabling brand-new experiences and scenarios that have become a consumer expectation. Few companies have the pedigree to fulfill this new demand, but Samsung Electronics had this foresight, leveraging its display expertise across many of its consumer product categories, to lead this new era in computing. Touch computing is now fully integrated into a variety of Samsung computing products, including PCs, slates, mobile phones and Microsoft Surface devices. Using Microsoft platform assets, Samsung expands personal computing capabilities with a touch of the finger.

So maybe the BUILD attendee kit is not such a bargain on eBay
But Samsung is going to begin selling the same device next month in the U.S. for $1,099. It will have the same configuration — a 64 gigabyte solid-state hard-drive, Intel’s second-generation Core i5 processor, a charging dock, stylus and Bluetooth keyboard — but will come with Windows 7.
It has an 11.6" widescreen display, it weighs about 1.9 pounds and is a half-inch thick.

After installing Windows 7, we removed the trial software that can slow down your PC, installed applications you really use, and tuned them to work together seamlessly. Combine that with world-class security to help eliminate viruses and spyware, and 90 days of technical support, and you’ve got the best PC experience ever, right out of… Continue reading: Category Results for Tablets on Microsoft Store
Hmm – the ASUS EP121 64-gig model, at $1,099, “shipping soon,” which first appeared on Amazon last night, is already in Amazon’s top 100-selling Computer & Accessories category (#13 #10 #4 ~9:00 ET #2 ~1:10 ET). The battery life description below is a bummer, however.
More details – but the new ASUS is still the only new Windows 7 tablet/slate I’ve seen so far (the dual-screen Acer also looks pretty cool…)
At tonight’s keynote, Microsoft exec Mike Angiulo showed off a slew of tablets with intriguing and varied form factors. We saw touchscreens, slide-out keyboards, dual-screen machines, stylus-friendly tablets and more. In fact, the crowd was so impressed that it kept interrupting the presentation with applause.
In a word, none of these looks or feels like an iPad. Each Windows-powered tablet is unique, made with a different kind of user in mind. Most of these devices are more appropriate with content creators than just content consumers — that… Continue reading: Microsoft Wows CES Crowd With Windows 7-Powered Tablets [Mashable]
