Its going to be a success. The people that said this would be a huge flop couldn't have been more wrong. Imagine how well all the Windows 8 tablets combined are going to do in general this holidays and during 2013. |
Ballmer said OVER 400Milions Windows8/WP8 Phones will be sold in 1 year... So From now to October 2013.
Windows 8 is another Story since many people just upgrade their Software and dont buy New Pcs.
So Probably 650m W8 and > 400M Windows8/Wp8 devices

lol u misunderstood. What is included in those 400 million? Obviously he included Win 8 operating systems for PCs, so it's going to be like 380 million software packs (Win 8 OS for PC) and perhaps 20 million hardware devices (Windows smartphones and Windows tablets).
A measly 20 million hardware devices powered by a Microsoft system (excluding PCs). At best.
Meanwhile Apple sells 150 million phones and tablets in a year and Android another 500 million.
Keep in mind that total worldwide yearly shipments of smartphones by all vendors is around 700 million and tablets I would think much less, perhaps 100 million.

Android dont sell any phones. Android is an operating system option for manufacturers. Those manufactureres will release windows 8 phones and tablets. Windows 8 tablets will be far superior to Android tablets in a number of key ways that you seem to want to ignore.

Surface doesn't seem to be better than a $200 Android tablet, let alone the upcoming 10 inch tablet. I don't say it, The Verge says it so.
|
and others says different... "so"

Sorry, I didn't notice you had said Windows 8 tablets. Since the topic is about RT, I assumed you were talking about it and didn't notice the lack of RT word. Of course, W8 tablets will be much better than any other offerings.
