Hey guys,
A lot of us thought that MS would be revealing a mini version of the already awesome Surface Pro,
but this didn't happen! Some were shocked and others couldn't care less :amaze:
In any case the guys over at Bloomberg did some "digging" around and came up with this:
Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella and Executive Vice President Stephen Elop decided that the product in development wasn?t different enough from rivals and probably wouldn?t be a hit, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans weren?t public. Engineers had been working on the device and had planned to unveil it as early as today at an event in New York, two of the people said.
Instead, the company removed any references to Surface devices based on Qualcomm?s processors from the event and unveiled Surface Pro 3, an upgraded version of its pricier Windows-based tablet, which uses chips from Intel Corp. (INTC) and features a larger 12-inch screen. Microsoft is still working on smaller versions, Panos Panay, who runs the Surface business, said in an interview after the event. Panay declined to provide details on future products.
I think this is just speculation, but it doesn't seem that far-fetched so I decided to share it
