A GROWING dissatisfaction among office workers with the clunky computers their employers force them to use, in contrast to the sleek Apple devices many have at home, could yet benefit incumbent suppliers.
As Apple’s third-generation iPad went on sale, accompanied by the now traditional scenes of fans queuing around the block, Dell’s chief commercial officer Steve Felice said the tablet market was still wide open.
Dell is planning a fresh assault with the advent of Microsoft’s new Windows 8 operating platform, which is expected later this year and will have a touch interface that works across desktop computers, tablets and smartphones. "We’re very encouraged by the touch capability we are seeing in the beta versions of Windows 8,î Mr Felice said. ìWe have a roadmap for tablets that we haven’t announced yet."
Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard and possibly Nokia are also planning Windows 8 tablets.
