Operating System software on chips is not really new; it has been available for years now and is present in the form of electronics manufactured boards with processors that are designed with specific purposes.

These Operating Systems on chips include ARM processors and can use embedded Linux, Windows CE, or other Operating System software.

The latest trend is of course the tablet along with the iPad.  These new technologies are very enticing because they bring pc power into smaller hand held devices offering more than what we have already seen in the mobile phone markets that use iOS or iPhone operating system.

The greatest benefit of using a tablet or an iPad is not the games that many people believe but the appeal to those who will use it on a more sophisticated and intelligent level, making use of the applications that are currently offered, possibly increasing the social networking ideas, and new applications that will develop as users learn to apply themselves more comfortably.

The trend that Microsoft is taking by entering into this market is not simply to offer a competitive device but rather to be able to finally encode their operating system software into chip form that will make copying and hacking more difficult for the PC market.

The most important factor that will decide the future for these devices is the operating system.  If the newest version of Windows does not have the flexibility, speed, and capability to be programmed without the bloat factor, that was inherent in previous versions of Microsoft Windows, then this will push the newest O/S member Android into the top spot for future technological program development.

Apart from the software, the new tablet and pad technologies will have to combine the hardware capabilities of previous designs that include cameras, GPS, media players, and anything else that can be squeezed into these high tech packages.
