As the Intel-based Windows 8 begins to proliferate across a wide range of devices and developers seek to capitalize on distribution via the Windows app store, a broader mosaic of Live Tiles will lie waiting to take advantage of Surface's attractive hardware options.
In addition to its primary hardware specs, Surface also features a built in kickstand, which essentially turns the tablet into a monitor, and also a 3mm thin case that includes a multitouch keyboard.
And with exciting portable hardware like the Microsoft Surface, Dell XPS Duo 12, and ASUS Taichi in the pipeline, you can expect Windows 8 tablet sales to soar.
