It seems that at Microsoft they have not been impressed by criticism from hardware producers for Windows 8 tablets: Your Surface tablet has not been released yet and you would already be working on the Next Generation.
It is not the first time that Microsoft, software producer par excellence, it delves into computer production, and we all know its Xbox and Zune hardware products, but the stiff competition that its Surface tablet could pose for companies like Acer, the one who has made the harshest statements, it certainly raises blisters. Well, in case anyone had doubts, Microsoft does not seem willing to back down, but rather the opposite: at this time it would be beginning to prepare the heir to the tablet that has not yet been released. The Surface tablet is here to stay and, unfortunately for more than one, although it is not the first tablet to come to light with Windows 8, without a doubt, it is the one that more expectation wake up.
Information about this Microsoft project to a second generation of tablets has arrived from the middle Techradar and is based on leaks about the recruitment of engineers for it, which until now was believed aimed at finalize the first Surface model. The details on what kind of novelties would be incorporated into this second generation of tablets are scarce, although it is speculated - based on the criteria used for the recruitment of engineers - that one of the spearheads of the project would be in the research to improve battery performance. What does seem quite certain is that Microsoft is not only going to work on a Surface 2, but is hoping to establish a cycle of about a year between model and model, in the way that its main competitors do, such as Apple with the iPad.
For now, we can only wait for the launch of the first Surface tablet, which is believed to be in the month of October and of which spectacular details are known, such as the cover with keyboard that will bring it closer to the functionalities of notebooks, and that has captivated experts by the elegance minimalist of its design.
