Apparently the original idea was to introduce HTC tablets with Windows 8, but finally opted for Windows RT due to high production costs and sales. According to official estimates, the Intel hardware devices cost about $ 1,000 each on its arrival in stores.

Taiwanese firm experience in the tablet market was not the best. HTC Flyer Android 2.3.3 debuted in May 2011 but production was discontinued in December of that year. In part is logical that the company try again , since almost all the exponents in the technology sector have at least one model in their catalog.

not forget that HTC has signed an agreement with UEFA to become “official supplier of smartphones and tablets” European football’s highest body. The next three seasons Champions League and Europa League will be a showcase for luxury Asian company that advertises any new product.

RT Windows

be the right choice for a successful return to the world of tablets?

That in case you have not noticed, is the date of the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar famous ;) Hopefully we can tell and enjoy a truly spectacular window manager.

There is no guarantee that the service of Google TV succeed with Samsung, although expectations are positive because it has a key partner with great market presence. The Asian company has its own shop applications and content for smart TV , which can complement perfectly with the Google platform.

“Soon, this year, Samsung introduced its first Smart TV with Google TV, expanding services and premium content available through Samsung Apps “, published in the California corporate blog. Unfortunately for now there are no more details about the launch of this product.

Alliance with Samsung may be critical because it is a company with real experience in the market of Smart TVs . For now we have to wait a while until more news is disseminated about the device, but we will look.
