Microsoft forgets the sadness of Windows 10 Mobile with the good figures of the tablet market

These are not good times for Microsoft, at least in relation to its mobile ecosystem We have already commented on it many times and only a few brave ones Manufacturers bet on the Redmond system with excellent products, but yes, in a timid way. A situation that shows that Windows 10 Mobile has more than difficult to be an alternative to the other two platforms, iOS and Android.

In front of them the immensity of Android, with notable tablets (ASUS, LG , Samsung…) but also with a lot of rubbish and that is where Microsoft can attack."

And from Redmond they can also be happy, since the indicators point to the fact that in 2017 the market for tablets with Windows 10 will grow even more. We will have to see how the first months start, what launches we attend, if we see a renewal of the iPad or Google range dares with its rumored Andromeda OS.
