Samsung confirms it will stop selling its Windows RT tablet in Germany |
March 07, 2013
Samsung on Thursday confirmed reports that it will stop selling its Windows RT tablet, the Ativ Tab, in Germany.
The sales of the tablet will also be halted in other European countries, according to the German tech news site Heise, which first reported the news. Heise quoted a Samsung official, but a Samsung spokeswoman Thursday couldn’t immediately confirm or deny the report.
A halt of Ativ Tab sales—in Germany, or worse, throughout the region—does not bode well for Microsoft, but is a sign of the lackluster uptake of RT devices that market observers have already noted.
“If this is true, this is a major blow to Microsoft,” said Ben Wood, director of research at CCS Insight. Microsoft has been trying to take Windows into the tablet space to compete with Apple, but hasn’t been very successful so far, he said.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
