Apple is on its way to launch the third iteration of its mega hit tablet, iPad and the market yet has to see a worthy opponent to the
reigning king. Over the years, many Android and other tablets cropped up and most of them failed to make any mark. Many of them, including PlayBook and TouchPad, went on to become spectacular failures. So, here to 2012 and let's hope we get to see some decent tablets, and for making this wish true, Acer and Lenovo are said to be preparing for launching Windows tablets this year.
Acer and Lenovo are planning to use Windows 8 for their upcoming tablets. These top notch companies will also use Intel's Clover Trail platform. However, since Windows 8 is still in the development mode, you will have to wait for some time before you get to lay your hands on these devices.
Intel is also setting its eyes on mobile phone and tablet processor market. The company is looking to unveil its Medfield processor in the first half of this year. The processor is specifically designed for tablets and smartphones. However, Acer and Lenovo said to be waiting for Clover Trail processors, which are likely to hit the market in the second half of the year. Given these constraints, it looks like Acer and Lenovo would be able to release their Wintel tablets in late 2012 only.
