came across more rumors about upcoming Windows 8 tablets:
The report, which cites unnamed sources, claims that Toshiba will show both a Windows 8 tablet and what the story called a "notebook-type device". Acer is also supposed to show off a Windows 8 tablet next week at Computex.
Asus is reportedly planning to present some Windows 8 tablets with detachable keyboards at Computex. The tablets are supposed to be similar to the company's Android-based Transformer mode. Asus has already released a teaser for one of its tablet products.
Computex should also be a new opportunity to show off products running Windows RT, otherwise known as Windows 8 ARM. The reports states that the Toshiba Windows 8 products will be running on an ARM-based processor by Texas Instruments, while at least one Asus tablet will be running on NVIDIA's Tegra 3 chip.
Qualcomm will also reveal a Snapdragon based Windows 8 prototype at Computex, but it's expected that most Windows 8 tablets arriving in 2012 will be Intel-based. The influx of ARM-based Windows 8 products isn't anticipated until 2013.
