<description><![CDATA[Microsoft plans to unveil a new operating system designed fortablets within days, according to Bloomberg.Citing three anonymous sources, Bloomberg reported yesterday that the software giant will be discussing its plans for tablets at some point in the next week, though they weren't certain where or when it would happen. Bloomberg's sources told the publication that the tablet-friendly Windows version would be running on hardware boasting Nvidia's ARM-based Tegra processor.If the tablets are, in fact, running a processor based on ARM architecture, the operating system Microsoft would be showing off would not beWindows 7. That operating system currently doesn't support ARM-based processors. However, at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year, Microsoft announced that the next version of Windows will support ARM technology.The timing of any announcement by Microsoft seems to fall in line with speculation over the last several months about the company's plans.Back in March, technology blog Business Insider cited a source of its own that said Microsoft would demo tablets running Windows 8 by June. That source said at the time that Microsoft was being rather &quot;Apple-like&quot; in its strategy toward tablets and would bring some elements ofWindows Phone 7 to the platform. However, Microsoft was tight-lipped at the time on whether it would even discuss Windows 8-based tablets at any point this year. That quickly changed earlier this week when Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said before developers at a conference in Japan that his company plans to outline details surrounding Windows 8 and Microsoft's tablet strategy quite soon. &quot;We're obviously hard at work on the next version of Windows,&quot; Ballmer said before the attendees. &quot;Windows 7 PCs will sell over 350 million units this year. We've done a lot in Windows 7 to improve customer satisfaction. We have a brand new user interface. We've added touch, and ink, and speech. And yet, as we look forward to the next generation of Windows systems, which will come out next year, there's a whole lot more coming. &quot;As we progress through the year, you ought to expect to hear a lot about Windows 8. Windows 8 slates, tablets, PCs, a variety of different form factors,&quot; he continued. Following that statement, Microsoft's public relations team engaged in some damage control, telling CNET earlier this week that Ballmer's comments were a &quot;misstatement.&quot; &quot;We are eagerly awaiting the next generation of Windows 7 hardware that will be available in the coming fiscal year,&quot; the company told CNET in response to Ballmer's comments. &quot;To date, we have yet to formally announce any timing or naming for the next version of Windows.&quot; Regardless, Microsoft must do something quickly to break into the tablet market. According to research firm Gartner, Apple's iPad secured nearly 84 percent of the tablet market in 2010, followed by Android's 14.2 percent market share. This year, Gartner sees Apple's share declining to 68.7 percent, followed by Android with 19.9 percent market share. By 2015, Gartner believes Apple's tablets and Android-based devices will own 85 percent of the tablet space between them. Microsoft did not immediately respond to CNET's request for comment on Bloomberg's report. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Nintendo started selling the 3DS handheld game system this weekend in Japan, and fans lined up in chilly weather to get their hands on the new handheld which can be viewed in stereoscopic 3D without special glasses.The system won&amp;'t arrive in North America until March 27 and in Europe on March 25. Nintendo typically targets its initial launches of new game systems for the Japanese market first and then it builds larger supplies to launch worldwide. The system is a critical one for Nintendo, which wants to continue to dominate handheld gaming despite the strong sales of Apple&amp;'s iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad &amp;8212' which have become spectacular game platforms. New game systems typically sell out in their first sales spurt, so we&amp;'ll be watching to see how the launch goes for Nintendo.GameSpot said crowds lined up at one store at the Yodobashi Camera store in Tokyo&amp;'s Akihabara electronics district. But some of the people were there to get a new toy based on the Kamen Rider television show. It so happened the new toy was being released on the same day as Nintendo&amp;'s new dual-screen portable device. The 3DS is available in cosmo black or aqua blue colors, and there were eight Japanese 3dS games available at the launch. Outside the store, a number of new 3DS owners tired out the system&amp;'s Street Pass social functionality outside the store.The 3DS costs 25,000 yen, or $300, in Japan. In the U.S., it will cost $250, with games costing $40 each. That might be a reflection of how competitive the U.S. market has become with the Apple and Android devices on the market. Nintendo has said it expects to sell 4 million DS units by the end of March, including 1.5 million in Japan. Given past history and the interest in the device, that should be easy for Nintendo to do. The DS has sold more than 145 million units in its lifetime since 2004. Sony will have its own new handheld game system, the NGP, coming this fall.Bloomberg reported about 2,000 people lined up at a store in Akihabara, after e-commerce retailers sold out their pre-orders. Reuters said customers lined up at a camera store in Yurakucho, Tokyo. And the Wall Street Journal reported hundreds of people outside a store in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.PC magazine reported that the 3DS system got hacked soon after the sales started. Hackers &amp;''jailbroke&amp;'' the device to support flash memory cards that can play older Nintendo games.[photo credit: GameSpot]Previous Story: Week in review: Debate grows around Apple&amp;'s subscription planPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: 3DSCompanies: nintendo          Tags: 3DSCompanies: nintendoDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.
