think all these run windows 7 http://www.engadget.com/tag/windows%207%20tablets/

How many Tablets run IOS?? oh its 2

I think Chris answered that best


As for those devices... I've never heard of them, and I doubt that many other people have. From a look at that link, they don't sound so great either... Price, weight, ease of use, battery life... None seem to hit the spot with all of those.

For the majority, "tablet" still equals "iPad". Apple owns the tablet market. Android is the only real competitor (webOS is already dead, & the BB Playbook hasn't exactly had very good reviews or sales) but the quality-end of the Android line-up (e.g. Tab 10.1) are too expensive... and lack the name, the brand, the image. Android fanboys, Apple haters, people who really care about Flash (why?), and those who like to tinker or want more customisability or more interface options...they'll buy Android tablets. The rest? iPads...

Windows 7 tablets? Not even worth considering, IMO, from the looks of the above. And by the time MS releases an ARM-compatible version of Windows 8 for running on tablets it will have once again missed the boat.
