Yes, Microsoft Is Working On A New Surface Tablet, Nvidia CEO Says
It shouldn't be a shock because various Microsoft execs have repeatedly said that the company is committed to Surface RT, the version of Windows 8 that runs on an ARM processor and doesn't run older Windows software.
For instance, Brian Hall, the General Manager of Surface Marketing just said so to ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley last month, right after news broke that Microsoft was slashing prices and taking a $900 million write-down on the tablet.
Plus, a couple of weeks before Microsoft revealed the write-off, Microsoft COO Kevin Turner hinted that new versions of RT and Pro were in the works, possibly for 2014.
What we don't know is what Microsoft is going to do to make people want to buy it. One rumor is that Microsoft is working an a smaller version of Surface, possibly the size of the iPad Mini. Another rumor is that Microsoft is working on a RT device with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 processor. That's cool because the chip can connect to 3G/4G LTE networks.
