But, is Microsoft’s unique approach to tablets going to be enough to even get a foot in the door of the tablet market? After all, it isn’t even so much a tablet market as an iPad market; Apple created this market, and are doing a great job at maintaining a firm grip on it.

Phil Schiller made sure to mention the A5X processor found in the new iPad performed 4x better than NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 chip. With a quad-core GPU, the new chip was also said to boast twice the graphics output compared with the iPad 2.

When it comes to concept designs, the numbers reflect the market – with most designers preferring to dream up the next iPhone or iPad than concentrate on the iPod range. Enrico Penello must have missed that memo, though, and has come... [More]
