Amid iPad dominance and dropping prices, tablet-makers seek a new niche by turning to Windows.



From PC World:

PC makers Hewlett-Packard and Dell are turning to Windows 8 as their next tablet operating system, thanks to fierce competition in the Android tablet market spurred most recently by Amazon’s Kindle Fire.

With the iPad dominating the field at more than 70 percent of the tablet market, and Amazon starting the Android price wars at a low $199, it makes sense that HP and Dell would turn to Windows 8 and try to carve out a new niche.
