PC World posted a story that Dell expects both Windows 8 and Android to be credible options for tablet customers next year
Windows 8 is starting to become a real option on tablets, and early results that Dell has seen of Windows 8 on the company's tablets look very promising, said Amit Midha, Dell's president for Greater China and South Asia during a conference call.
Whenever customers have more choice, there is more innovation, rapid adoption, and new usage models, which bode well for Dell and the rest of the industry, Midha said.
Dell did not specify when it plans to launch its Windows 8 tablet, and whether it will run on ARM-based or Intel x86 processors. Windows 8, scheduled for release next year, will run on ARM-based and Intel x86 chips, opening the possibility that Windows will run on a large number of tablets using ARM processors.
