Flyer, the Taiwanese company is now
said to be planning to partner with
Microsoft to make a mark in the
tablet space.
PhoneArena.com is reporting that HTC
is currently in the process of
developing two high-resolution tablets.
These tablets have been codenamed
R7 and R12 and will reportedly run on
Windows RT Blue.
The HTC R7 will allegedly feature a 7-
inch device with full-HD display. It will
be powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU along
with 2GB of RAM. There will be a 13-
megapixel rear camera. This tablet
will allegedly come with 16GB of
internal storage, which can be further
expanded.
HTC R12 on the other hand will be a
12-inch tablet with a 2014X1536pixel
resolution display.
There had been news regarding HTC
working on Windows-based tablet
from December 2012. However, there
were not too many details available at
that point in time.
Even now, there is no word on what
could be the price for these tablets,
but these tablets are expected to be
launched in mid-October 2013. From
the specifications it looks like these
two tablets will be steeply priced. It is
noteworthy, that one of the reasons
as to why HTC Flyer could not make a
mark was its exorbitant price. It will
be interesting to see if HTC will end up
making the same mistake again or will
the pricing be sensible this time round.
There are also rumours that LG too is
planning to re-enter the tablet space.
However, there are no details
available whether the company will be
piggy backing on Android momentum
to make a re-entry or like HTC think
of taking the Windows way.
