Technology is a fast paced industry; current technology and devices are just making way for tomorrow’s new technology. With that said, Microsoft is developing their second generation tablet, Surface 2.
Although in the Top Five Tablets for the first quarter of 2013, Microsoft has not been as successful as planned with the Surface Tablets, only selling half of the units required for their intended goal.
To conquer the growing demand for smaller tablets, Surface 2 will have a 7-9 inch display with a higher screen resolution than its competitors, iPad Mini, Nexus 7 and Kindle Fir.. The iPad Mini offers 1024×768 resolution, the Nexus 7 offers 1280×800 resolution and Kindle Fire offers 1024×600 resolution. Microsoft expects Surface 2 to offer 1400×1050 resolution.
Partners from the Surface RT and Surface Pro development are working together including Pegatron Technology, Ju Teng, Samsung, LG, Corning, Intel and NVIDIA to build the second generation.
The rumored price of the Surface 2 will be approximately $400. Microsoft’s Build Developer Conference at the end of June will announce more information regarding the Surface 2 including a possible release date, specifications and features.
