Now Microsoft has its own slate! Soon a regulatory body will become mandatory for governing the boundaries within which companies should launch tablets. With almost every company launching its own internet tablet, the dilemma behind which is the best and which should be avoided looms around all the time. No doubt why plenty of internet users are buying tablets just because of the desire to have one though it isn't of any use for them.

Microsoft is about to hold an event on October 11 where they might announce their plans with a slate that they might launch in the future. Though the major focus of this event will be Windows 7 yet people are guessing that Microsoft officials will be coming up with some hints about their yet to be announced tablet plans.

People have been criticizing Microsoft for not coming up with something competitive against the Apple iPad. Microsoft's CEO, Steve Ballmer, could just say that the Slate will be available in the marks once it is ready. Looks like it might just be ready for official announcements � fingers crossed!

As of now over 4.5 million units of iPad are being sold every quarter which clearly shows that Microsoft is way behind in this war. It is now or never for Microsoft.
