Windows Phone division programmer Andy Lees stated that tablets should be considered PCs and thus you will not see his OS on any of the new ones, but for Microsoft programmers this is going to be a tough challenge. This is due to the fact that Microsoft eventually would like to develop one single software that can be used on both PCS and mobiles creating a link between all of their devices such as e-readers and tablets that all run on the software.

iPad from Apple
Even though the iPad has been out for 15 months there has been one app that has been missing from the major device, an official Facebook application that allows users to jump right onto the social networking website without using a web browser. This is set to finally change as Facebook has announced that they will launch a new app that will be designed for special use only with the iPad making it worth the wait according to sources that are close to the project that has been in development for the past year.
