(tangential to VS2012 hacks) Yes, that was my thought – the Slate 7 hardware has ARM processor, and the WinRT would be a good fit. Then HP would have directly competing Android vs Windows tablets.
The US prices on (Android) Slate 7 are under $200. But the Nexus 7 is a better-configured tablet ($+) – 3G/HSPA+ ($AU350 or so). _____ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of mike smith Sent: Friday, June 21, 2013 12:36 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: VS2012 hacks Just Pro, AFAIK. You'd think that the hardware for Android would be a good match for RT, though? Query for Microsoft: is RT available as a piece of software, or only sold with hardware?

The ones I know of are the (Android) Slate 7 range and the ElitePad 800 and 900 (Win8 and Win8Pro) – quite a different price bracket, though. I didn’t know there was a Windows8 Slate (WinRT ?). _____ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia
