The new Windows 8 operating system from Microsoft will be released at the end of 2012. This is known for sure. However, the exact release date is still unknown, but it is already clear that this will happen in October-November.
This, referring to some sources, said the agency Bloomberg. And if that data is correct, the first ARM-based tablets with Microsoft Windows 8 pre-installed will go on sale in October 2012.
At least 5 manufacturers have already announced their plans to release tablets with AEM and Windows 8 processors on board. So, Nokia will release this year a tablet with a 10-inch display and a mobile dual-core ARM Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor in the 4th quarter of this year, as reported by the DigiTimes website.
While DigiTimes has a reputation for being a source of dubious rumors, their data on Nokia's Windows 8 tablet looks quite plausible this time around.
Nokia, as you know, already cooperates with Microsoft in the smartphone market. They moved from making phones with their own Symbian system to making smartphones running Windows Phone.
According to DigiTimes, the new Nokia tablet will most likely be presented on September 25-26 at the Nokia World 2012 conference in Helsinki.
In addition, tablets based on Intel processors, the traditional platform for Windows operating systems, should also be expected to hit the market as soon as possible.
The release of Windows 8 is slated for October 2012 and is probably no coincidence. At this time, the vacation season just ends, people begin to think about buying gifts for the New Year holidays. It is worth noting in support of this claim that the Windows 7 operating system was also released in October - 3 years ago.
Microsoft, as usual, declined to comment on these rumors, so it only remains to wait until it releases its plans for new tablets and the Windows 8 operating system.
