Until recently, the words Microsoft and hardware combined probably formed one important thing: Xbox. With the launch of the new tablet Surface, the company broke just mentioned it. But the story does not end here, as Steve Ballmer, the CEO of the giant software , has said that there is a possibility that his company continued to develop hardware, but did not specify what type.
Should not be surprised if we see a smartphone with technology from Microsoft in the near future, despite the strong partnership the company has with the manufacturer of mobile Nokia. Of course, a 7-inch tablet is also something that many expect to see, but when Microsoft a company that is usually associated with hardware manufacturers, it is believed that this could become annoying to some. In fact, this happened when the Surface was announced, but Microsoft partners obviously can not do anything about it.
At this point, all we can think that Microsoft could develop a smartphone, and in a very rare case, a new tablet, but this time smaller. What do you think about it? What kind of device you'd like Microsoft to develop?
