Microsoft to Windows RT OEMs: 'If your name's not on the list, you're not making a tablet':
China Times is reporting that Microsoft is only letting an elite few companies build
Windows RT tablets in order to focus its research and development resources. It reportedly asked three chipmakers to pick up to two OEMs to bring inside the tent, with
NVIDIA grabbing
ASUS and
Lenovo,
TI snagging Toshiba and
Qualcomm selecting
Samsung and
HP. However, the latter company dropped out of the program to concentrate on x86 machines, so it's rumored that Dell's currently jockeying to take its place. The first wave of completed tablets will arrive on
October 26th, and Redmond won't open up the market until January next year -- so expect Windows RT to be the buzz-word
CES 2013.
