KOREAN ELECTRONICS MAKER Samsung has partnered with Microsoft to make a tablet that runs Windows 8.

According to the Korea Economic Daily the Windows 8 tablet will be revealed at Microsoft's BUILD developers' conference in California next week, 13-16 September.

A source told the Korea Economic Daily, "This new product manufactured by Samsung will be the company's first collaboration with Microsoft in its hardware devices."

Samsung is embroiled in a global patent battle with Apple over its Galaxy tablet and smartphone devices.

Microsoft launched its Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system in November 2010 and as yet, its market share has reached just 1.7 per cent in the UK. µ

Ethernet PORT !!!!!

All of this tablet pad slate what ever is useless in the long term with out a few simple devices.
1. outdoor viewable screen
2. 12 hour battery
3. Ethernet port or real USB access to one.

This will make the device truly capable of going everywhere and thus separate itself from the steaming pile of future coasters.
