MSI chairman Joseph Hsu said he believes that the tablet PC market will not really take off until next year:
MSI chairman Joseph Hsu indicated that while the company will begin launching its tablet PC lineup in the second half of this year, the market will not really take off until next year.

According to Hsu, MSI is releasing the Wind Pad 100 first because the PC market is more familiar with the Wintel architecture, and MSI is in discussions with potential European partners for joint marketing operations.

In line with Hsu's expectations that the tablet market will take off next year, Intel announced during its keynote speech at Computex Taipei 2010 that its next-generation Oak Trail platform for Atom will be available for customers in 2011.
