Microsoft will launch an internet tablet and smartphones in 2010

Microsoft and Sharp are announcing two new smartphones in January 2010, but they will enter the market no earlier than the release of Windows Mobile 7 . This writes ZDNet in the article "Pink and Microsoft Tablet (Take 2): A couple of updates," with reference to informed sources. It is also reported that the development of Microsoft Internet tablet is close to completion.
According to ZDNet, at least one of the developers of the Microsoft Surface touch interface project is involved in creating an Internet tablet from Microsoft. The corporation is working on a smaller version of Surface for its devices, including a tablet.
Microsoft is waiting for the release of Apple's Internet tablet to adjust its marketing strategy.

Microsoft plans to use the model of paid download applications from its store Zune Marketplace and advanced multimedia services used in the Zune HD player in new devices. New devices are being developed in the framework of a single project Pink , for which Microsoft has already chosen an advertising agency.
Providing paid services to subscribers, the corporation is interested in much more than the production and sale of the devices themselves.
Microsoft will only offer detailed specifications, and its partners will be engaged in production - their number may be reduced, but ties with the corporation will become closer.
