I love hypothetical discussions, so here's my challenge to you:
You're Microsoft and you want to design and release first party devices for the Windows 10 launch. However, because of concerns about angering PC and fledgling Windows Phone OEMs, as well as not wanting a Surface RT situation, you decide to limit the total number of devices at launch to 5. What do you design and release to show the full range of Windows 10's capabilities?
Here's my list...
Surface Pro 4- Surface Pro 3 with new Intel chips and Windows 10. It shows off Continuum and the tablet that can replace your laptop.
LumiaTab 9- 9 or so inch dedicated tablet running Windows 10 mobile, with either a high end Qualcomm or Atom chip. Shows off Windows 10 Nearly shameless iPad clone, but with a display port and the ability to use Surface accessories, namely the pen. Priced about 299-349.
Lumia 1540- Lumia 1520 with up gunned specs and a Galaxy note style stylus.
Lumia 940- Lumia Icon successor, same as the 1540, but with no pen.
Lumia 540- Lumia 535 with Windows 10.
