Apple has proved that tablets can successfully run smartphone operating systems. The company's flagship iPad tablet runs the iPhone OS. Other companies are also building tablets running smartphone operating systems such as Android. MSI, for instance, is building tablets running both Android and Windows 7. The company is expected to show off the tablets at the Computex trade show in June. According to MSI, the tablets will have 8.9 inch and 10 inch displays. They will start shipping in the third quarter of 2010.
The Android model will be based on NVIDIA's Tegra 2 platform which combines a low power ARM processor with high performance NVIDIA graphics. The Windows tablet will have an Intel Atom processor.
Meanwhile, the dual screen tablet-style netbook that was on display at CES is still lagging behind due to hardware issues. MSI says that this model won't start shipping until the fourth quarter of this year.
