Microsoft may backtrack on Start button in Windows 8
Microsoft may recant its Windows 8 design theology, bloggers reported Tuesday, by offering Windows 8 users an option to bypass the "Modern" UI and by restoring the Start button and menu to the beleaguered operating system.
A pair of longtime Microsoft hands, Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet and Tom Warren of The Verge, citing unnamed sources and messages on Windows discussion forums, said Microsoft was considering those tweaks for an upcoming update, called "Windows Blue" by some and "Windows 8.1" by others. The upgrade, the first of a planned faster development and release tempo, is allegedly slated for an October debut.
Warren pointed to evidence that Microsoft might allow boot-to-desktop with Windows 8.1. Foley added that the Redmond, Wash., developer was also pondering a return of the Windows Start button and associated menu.
Analysts welcomed the news, assuming it's accurate.
Mammoth Asus tablet-desktop hybrid combines Android, Windows 8
Asustek has announced it will soon begin U.S. shipments of an all-in-one PC that can be an Android 4.1 tablet or a fully functional desktop running Windows 8 when attached to a docking station.
The Transformer AiO will become available early in the second quarter starting at $1,299, Asus said in a statement. The company did not immediately comment on worldwide availability.
The 18.4-inch tablet weighs 2.28 kilograms and is oversized compared to tablets with 10.1-inch screens, so it can be difficult to carry on the road. But it provides more mobility around a home compared to regular all-in-ones, in which the screens are attached to base.
n addition to Android, the tablet can also connect to the docking station wirelessly to become a remote virtual desktop and run Windows 8.
Asus claims the tablet delivers five hours of battery life. The multitouch screen can display images at a full high-definition resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. The tablet hardware includes Nvidia's Tegra 3 quad-core processor, which has an ARM Cortex-A9 processor.
The tablet transforms into a full desktop PC when connected to the dock, which has separate hardware for the all-in-one to run Windows 8. It has an Intel Core i5 processor based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The dock, which Asus calls a PC Station, has an Nvidia GeForce GT730M graphics processor, 1TB hard drive, 8GB RAM, four USB 3.0 ports, HDMI port, memory card slot, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0.
The tablet has 2GB of RAM, a front-facing camera, mini-USB 2.0 port, Wi-Fi and a battery. It also has a micro-SD slot for expandable storage of up to 32GB of data. A handle on top of the screen helps move the tablet around.
This unique all-in-one was introduced at last year's Computex trade show, where Asus Chairman Jonney Shih called the Transformer AiO the world's biggest tablet. The product name is borrowed from the Asus' Transformer line of Android tablets.
But it is the world's biggest tablet no longer. Panasonic earlier this year showed off a 20-inch tablet with a 4K screen that can display images at a resolution of 3840-by-2160 pixels, primarily for multimedia tasks like video editing and playback. Toshiba earlier launched a tablet with a 13.3-inch screen, but the company has since discontinued tablets.
All-in-ones usually have screens more than 20 inches, and computer-makers view them as stationary PCs meant to sit on desks. Many all-in-ones are being used in living rooms or as desktop replacements. Many businesses use all-in-ones in stores to take orders or to display interactive advertisements.

Taiwan's PC makers focus on low-end tablets in search of growth
As PC sales remain sluggish, analysts expect Taiwanese vendors Acer and Asustek Computer to try to seize today's changing tech market with low-end Android tablets, for which consumer demand is high.
Acer hopes to ship up to 10 million tablets in 2013, company executives said in a conference call with journalists Tuesday. The shipments will include two versions of the Acer Iconia B1 Android tablet, costing $150 and $179.
Asus has similar ambitions: it expects to ship at least 10 million tablets this year. The company already saw its tablet business grow in 2012 after partnering with Google to launch the Nexus 7 tablet, another low-priced product starting at $199. Since the Nexus 7's release last July, Asus's tablet shipments have reached 5.3 million units, up from the 1.4 million shipped in the first half of the year.
Although both Acer and Asus have released Android tablets in the past, the two companies are showing more optimism for a market that's been largely dominated by Apple's iPad. On Tuesday, Acer CEO J.T. Wang said the tablet supply chain had grown mature enough to support mass-market products.
"In the past few months, there's been some very positive changes," he said in the conference call. "The market is mature, and it's a good opportunity for Acer and other players too."
Consumers are buying up low-end tablets from little known "white box" vendors at prices between $100 to $150. Last year, white box vendors shipped 25 million tablets to users, according to research firm Gartner.
"So far this demand is not being filled by branded vendors," said Tracy Tsai, a Gartner analyst. "For the high-end tablets, it's obviously more dominated by Apple's iPad."
The focus on Android tablets also comes as demand for high-end products running Microsoft's new Windows 8 OS has yet to translate to major sales for Acer and Asus, which rely on PC notebooks as their core businesses. Earlier this month, Asus CEO Jerry Shen said Windows 8 acceptance was still low among consumers.
"We think consumers will choose to buy a low-price tablet," said Dickie Chang, an analyst with research firm IDC. "Many already have a notebook, they already have a desktop and a smartphone, so they want something different."
Other PC vendors are also adapting to the new consumer trend and releasing low-end tablets. In China, Lenovo is the second-largest tablet vendor behind Apple, with a 14 percent share. It reached that position in part by selling 7-inch Android tablets priced as low as $175. U.S.-based Hewlett-Packard last month also unveiled a 7-inch Android tablet, the HP Slate 7, that it will sell for $169.
Analysts expect budget 7-inch Android tablets will become increasingly common in the market, given the declining manufacturing costs to build the devices. Low costs means revenue can be generated from the tablets. But also important is keeping the company brand's relevant among consumers by launching new attractive products, said Gartner's Tracy Tsai.
"Vendors have to adapt to the trend and expand their profile, otherwise they will lose out on the opportunity of where the market is moving," she said.
