Microsoft Rejects Google's Lead in Tablets

A top Microsoft Corp. executive voiced confidence that the company's software will prove dominant in the burgeoning market for tablet personal computers, saying the company offers better support for manufacturers than rival Google ...

Senh: Whoah, before tablets running on Android even came out, it's already leading the industry? Sure, I think it will eventually because it's free, and a lot of manufacturers will use, but giving them the lead before any of the tablets have even came out is a bit premature. Right now, Apple's iPad is the leader. Microsoft has a point though. If they come out with a decent tablet computer running Windows 7, I too would prefer that over the iPad or any Android-powered device. Just being able to run any Windows software on it is a major plus.

Google Moves to TVs With Help From Intel and Sony

Google TV promises to integrate the Web and TV, but it relies on TV manufacturers to use its software.

Senh: What I'm wondering is how they're gonna navigate the TV screen? Is it gonna be multi-touch wireless remote or something similiar to what we currently have. If that's the case, then navigation's gonna be bitch. I could see a lot of potential in it. Being able to watch YouTube videos, play games, view photo galleries, etc... on the TV would be pretty nice.
