Is it "long MSFT" material?

http://mashable.com/2012/06/14/microsoft-media-ev…

if it is windows mobile 8 or an "improved" kinect then they will lose all credibility with the tech community.

I hope it is Hardware. A proprietary phone? They need one with a sexy look to compete against iphones and push other windows phone makers to make more sex appealing phones.

Maybe a Tablet? Let's start a guessing game, and whoever wins we all agree to give him/her a banana.

My bet is: Microsoft TV.

OhYeahtablet, maybe Windows branded, like Google Nexus
gave you a banana as promised

and OMG the new tablet is sexyyyyyyyyyyy gonna get one!!!!!

Thanks! it has the best shot against the iPad, but would you buy it over the iPad, if you could only get one? and that keyboard blew me away; really surprised that Microsoft came up with that

yes, i will buy it. the question is which one. I am thinking that the Windows Pro version could be a great ultrabook alternative. I think this device is great for bschool as well.

I really think this will be a contender. Still some people that believe they are "creative" (remember the samsung ad?) will buy the ipad because it is Apple. But the rest, I believe, will buy this product for the following reasons.

  1. Yes, it is sexy and looks expensive (great casing material). Even the new windows logo looks hot.
  2. Windows 8 is sexy. Looks way way hotter and cooler than ipad's OS
  3. It will have office and the "expensive version" will have some real computing power and a stylus pen.
  4. I believe companies will love this product and buy it for all their executives at some point.
  5. What would be cool, is if there is some sort of docking so that you can plug it into a real monitor, keyboard, etc. I believe this could really be a valid notebook alternative for everyone.
 

Tablet or phone. Shocked if it isn't a new hardware announcement.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

and i will cut my balls if it is a Bing announcement...

Although i read they were working on some huge new Bing thing that would revolutionize the search industry. But then again, it wouldn't be something completely new since i read it on the net a few months ago.
