The report about ASUS and its 3G Transformer Prime tablet held a tidbit of information some may not have been expecting, possibly because it conflicts with statements from another company.
According to SlashGear, ASUS has 150 people working on a tablet running Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 operating system.
The report says that ASUS made a mention of a Windows on ARM build.
This is what makes us wonder just what the company is on about.
Microsoft said its ARM-compatible Windows 8 build won't be ready before the middle of 2013.
Thus, ASUS' early mention of a WOA (Windows on ARM) slate sound a bit premature, unless the company is actually making more than one tablet.
At this point, the company may be designing an x86 Win8 slate while drafting the early plans for an ARM model that won't be out until much later.
Hopefully CES 2012 will bring some clarity.
