Windows RT tablets are getting 95% of the apps that Windows 8 tablets and desktops are getting. They could not release a new tablet for 2 years and then come out and it will have 100,000 of apps. When making a windows 8 app, you literally check a checkbox in the Microsoft publishing API and it will publish the app on Win RT (if possible)
Essentially what I am trying to say is that they don't need to introduce new hardware to keep the development for WinRT going. It piggybacks off Win8.
there are talks of new Surface RT coming out with Qualcom chipset, Lenovo is making them, Asus is making them, Dell, HP make em...Acer and Samsung are on the fence.
I don't see this dying any time soon.

But my point was that they should of just made winphone8 that non-X86 based OS. Kinda how Android is on phone/tablet and ChromeOS is on PCs. Seems like adding a third OS tier was a bit much.

I don't know. Android tried this with Honeycomb it was a tabled based OS. Microsoft is trying to bet on both horses (arm and intel)... I don't think Windows Phone 8 would give them the flexibility they need for a tablet OS and certanly wouldn't work for apps since Windows 8 apps and Windows phone apps are not shared.
You buy on Win 8 you also buy on RT...win phone is a seperate beast.
