A senior executive at Samsung has
confirmed that they will be releasing a ‘slate’ PC later this year.
Despite keeping quiet about which platform it will run on, and well
pretty much everything else, Samsung did say that connectivity and
PC-Standard processing power will be core features of the device, two
key areas where the iPad under performs.
While the Samsung Big Wigs understand
the significance of the Smartphone, they have their sights on the
tablet market too, believing there are vast improvements to be made,
Samsungs Philip Newton told Australian site APC: “I do feel that that
slate-type platform has legs but I think the legs need to be far more
powerful, for example an Atom-based product which has far greater
flexibility, not to mention inputs and outputs. This has more potential
than an iPad.”
