Surface RT 2nd Gen, Digital Ink?

[campbellc]

A few questions...

What do you think the chances are that the second gen surface rt has digital ink?

Will the second gen have the higher resolution?

Lastly will MS launch newer surface tablets on an annual basis, similar to apple?

Thx

Well I say they may make a second generation surface if sales are good with this current version and based on the fact that they are looking towards a yearly OS update cycle.

I think they will take an approach more similar to what Apple now does with the iPad, where there is no version number so they can update individual compontents easier. I think we will se a better processor once there is an nVidia chip that supports USB 3.0 and can push 1080p with Windows RT. They will likely upgrade the screen at that point. Digital ink is, in my opinion, unlikely on a MS branded RT tablet, as it is a very business centric feature and they are pushing business users to go for the Pro version, and giving them digital ink on RT is one less reason for them to pony up for the Pro.
