LG has launched a Windows 7-based tablet computer for the Korean market, named the E-Note H1000B.
The tablet features a 10.1-inch capacitive touchsreen, an Intel Atom Z510 or Z530 CPU, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of SSD storage, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, an SD card reader and two USB 2.0 slots. Interestingly enough, it comes with the severely limited Windows 7 Starter Edition and it has no camera, which is the distinguishing feature of most tablets in the post-iPad era.
The slightly lackluster specifications of this tablet won’t send anyone into ecstasy, and neither will the price of about $850. However, LG also plans to launch an Android tablet soon, which will hopefully be more of an iPad competitor than the E-Note H1000B.

Windows 7 Reaches 10 Percent Market Share
It’s official: Microsoft got it right this time. After the mistake that was Vista, Windows 7 was greeted like the second coming, and it many ways it really was better than its predecessor: less annoying, faster, smoother, more compatible with various pieces of hardware and software.
Initial sales numbers and market share reports have shown that Windows 7 is on the right track, but today it’s obvious that it will be one of the most successful products in Windows history, as it already caught 10 percent market share, approximately three months after it arrived on the market.
Windows Vista currently holds around 20% market share, while the 9-year-old Windows XP is (still) between 60-70%.
In other news, Internet Explorer 8 recently became the world’s most popular web browser with 25.6%. Love it or hate it, it’s a good thing, as it means that less and less people are using the dreaded IE6.

Windows 7 Mobile Launch Will Be Lacking Features
The long anticipated Windows 7 Phone launch (well, long since the Kin was killed) will occur at this month in NYC. However, the phone is alluding to missing features that bring the word "smart" into question on this smart phone.
To view the full article in its entirety, please visit eWeek:
Windows Phone 7 will appear first on GSM-based cellular networks such as AT&T's, moving later to CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) carriers such as Verizon in the first half of 2011.
Microsoft executives confirmed in September that Windows Phone 7 will not support tethering, which would have made the smartphones a Web hub for any nearby devices.
At launch, Windows Phone 7 will apparently lack in-browser support for Adobe Flash. However, Microsoft and Adobe executives have suggested Flash support will come later.
No Cut-and-Paste: Windows Phone 7 will initially lack a cut-and-paste function.
