Microsoft's Booth

Microsoft's presence at Computex 2010 was mainly about promoting the various efforts by other developers and vendors on its platforms, with a PC gallery showing more than a few interesting tablet concepts based on Windows OS.

Here's the PC gallery which is gathering more than its fair share of attention, no thanks to the many tablets on show here, including quite a few prototypes. Microsoft is certainly trying hard to counter the perception that Windows is not suited for the tablet experience.

The LG UX10 is slim, attractive and an instant attention grabber. Running Win 7 Home Premium, this tablet is a 10.1-inch version that uses an Intel Atom Z530 processor with 1GB of DDR2 memory. It comes with a 1.3-megapixel camera with a 7500mAh battery and weighs just 850g.

We know all about ASUS' tablets by now and the Eee Pad EP121 is one of the two introduced by ASUS at Computex 2010, boasting an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and running Win 7 Home Premium. According to its label, it has a 32/64GB SSD with a 0.3-megapixel camera.

It may say Windows Phone here but despite the newish naming convention and logo, we didn't see any Windows Phone 7 models here. All the phones on show here were using Windows Mobile 6.5 at best.

The new Office 2010 is one of Microsoft's big thing this year and there were quite a few stations devoted to showing off the new features in Microsoft's dominant productivity suite.

This is the Unihan Eagle B, one of the many developers/vendors on show at Microsoft's booth that are using a variant of MS' operating systems. This 6-inch E Ink ebook reader is using Windows Embedded CE 6.0.

We also saw this extremely rugged looked PC at the Microsoft showcase. This 10.4-inch device runs on Win 7 Professional and it certainly looks ready for military use.

One of the more unique devices we saw at this booth is the Onkyo dual-screen notebook, which uses an AMD processor and more importantly comes with two separate screens.
