    Windows 8 Dell tablet slated for early 2012

    Leaked Dell tablet roadmap indicates Windows 8 tablet coming Q1 2012

    Dell’s tablet roadmap for 2011-2012 has been leaked onto the web, with one very interesting indication – the company has plans to launch a tablet running Windows 8 in Q1 of 2012.

    The tablet, codenamed Peju, is slotted in a three-month time frame from January to March 2012 in this chart. No indication was given by AndroidCentral, as to what this really means. However, we can draw some likely conclusions based on history and facts:

    1) CES is held every January - Which means that we can most likely expect the beginning of the slotted time to go towards announcement of the tablet and its demonstration at CES 2012.

    2) Possible Q1 release for the tablet? – The Streak 7 Android OS was announced on January 7th, 2011, the second day of CES. It was then released on February 2nd in the United States. Given that the time-frames for Peju and Streak 7 are very similar, it is likely that a release could occur soon after the initial announcement.

    3) Microsoft had stated earlier that its next operating system would run on ARM processors – This could mean that there is some possibility we could see an early release for Windows 8 running on the ARM architecture, as opposed to its desktop equivalent. ARM processors power a large number of tablets and smartphones today.

    Keep in mind that current Windows 8 development has reached the Milestone 2 phase as of recently. Along with this roadmap that was also leaked a year and a half ago, the possibility of a 2012 Windows 8 release date continues to grow stronger.

    When do you think Windows 8 will launch? Let us know in the comments.
