Microsoft Lags Behind Apple, Again...

Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPad has been the talk of the hour in the technology sector leaving PC users drooling over this new tablet. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has a plan of attack with its new slate PC.

The plans for the HP Slate were introduced in January, but not before anticipation for the new Apple tablet had already taken over.

Apple definitely has the upper hand as it strives for innovation and pushes products out the door before other companies. For example, the iPhone has yet to be met with a rightful competitor, despite multiple attempts by various companies. Yet again, Microsoft is 10 steps behind and needs to look toward the future to get back in the game.
