Steve Ballmer announces new tablet from Microsoft
LAS VEGAS -- The New York Times Bits blog reported tonight that Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer plans to announce a new version of a tablet PC in his keynote tomorrow evening here at the Consumer Electronics Show. Microsoft has made tablet PCs for several years, but the idea is gaining steam across the industry, with rumors circulating that Apple will show off its own tablet PC in March. Tablet PCs are laptops with touch-enabled screens. Computer makers are also calling them "slates." Lenovo showed off its tablet, the IdeaPad U1, at a press event this evening. It works both as a slim clamshell laptop with a touch-enabled screen and the monitor detaches and can be used as a tablet PC. The IdeaPad runs on Windows 7, and will be available on June 1 for less than $1,000. A more in-depth look at Microsoft's "Slate" tablet courtesy of Gizodo.
