Written by Michael Awada on . Posted in Business, Gadgets, Technology

The internet has been abuzz over a secretive June 18th event taking place at 3:30 PM in Los Angeles. The Wrap believes that this event will be to showcase a new Microsoft product in a realm that have astonishingly yet to delve into; a tablet computer.

Microsoft, innovators of the personal computer, have been notably absent from the 202nd decade’s trend of flat, handheld computers. Meanwhile Apple, who has already released three versions of the iPad since 2010, is sitting pretty with a 67 million unit head start on CEO Steve Ballmer and Microsoft.

While the iPad’s CPU, memory, display and dimensions have improved each year, there haven’t been any major leaps towards the nuttier sci-fi breakthroughs we’ve been waiting for. Barring any sensational top secret advancement by Microsoft, their product won’t be much different either.

If you have yet to purchase a tablet, or are still holding onto a first generation model, now may the perfect time to tame your insatiable desires. If you somehow stop yourself, you’ll be handsomely rewarded with some truly revolutionary technology.
