They call it Xbox Surface tablet. Is the Xbox Surface tablet will use the same platform with the first Surface tablet that adopt Windows 8 RT? That question seems unclear, because of the existing leaks, Microsoft has not made ​​a formal statement about what platform that will be brought to Xbox Surface.

The rumors about the existence of Xbox Surface tablet have known from the beginning of June. But after the release of Windows 8, Microsoft dared a little to reveal the tablet ​​specifically made for the gaming. Xbox Surface Tablet spec that has spread explain that it will use 7 inch screen size. And the first thing that will make us a little stunned was the 5 GB RAM.

Many people regretting Microsoft attitude for not releasing the 16GB Surface tablet. Whereas the consumers expect this upcoming gadget will come with a cheaper price. Now, we will know the reason behind no release of 16GB version Surface tablet.

Quoted from PhoneArena, the tablet from Microsoft that using Windows 8 RT, the Surface Tablet was released in 32 and 64GB versions only. It's because the 32GB Surface tablet only provides internal memory allocation that can be used for just 16GB.

Of course, many consumers were simply fooled by looking at the version of the internal memory. Which means the size of the internal memory shown is the memory capacity we could use to store our personal files. And even it's reduced for the OS allocation, it will not be so great as on Android tablets and the iPad.

But that was a wrong preception and is not applicable for the Surface tablet that adopted Windows 8 RT. For the Surface tablet that has 32GB internal memory, it can be said that it's not complete 32GB, due to the decimal system of 32GB was basically only 29.7GB. Why? The decimal system in Windows 8 RT is only displayed every 1GB became 0.93GB. If the result is 29.7GB for the 32GB version, then the 64GB Surface tablet real internal memory was just about 59.5GB.

Not quite up there, that 29.7GB will also reduced by the existing System Recovery in Windows 8 RT at least for 5GB. Then for the OS, Windows 8 RT and the other default applications like Office, etc. takes an internal memory of 8GB.

Thus it can be seen that the 32GB Surface tablets internal memory that can be used by the user is just 16GB. And it's impossible for Microsoft releasing the 16GB Surface if the internal memory will be washed-up following the Windows 8 RT pattern.

Once again, Microsoft states their belief about Windows Phone 8 and the smartphones that adopt it. Through Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer with optimistic,  outspoken that the Windows 8 Smartphone sales will be higher. As a layman who can't predict the success or the failure of Windows Phone 8, it's perfectly natural if we judge Microsoft is promoting and confident when talking about their own products and being flaunted.
However, when we view it objectively, a statement from Steve Ballmer was very reasonable considering Microsoft in the last 1 year was learned from their less successful smartphone sales, Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 7.5. In addition, Microsoft also continues to make innovations, improvements and continue to develop the newest version of Windows Phone called Windows Phone 8 to be different and more acceptable to consumers.

And the most important thing is how to make the ecosystem in Windows Phone 8 is better and can cover all the needs of its users, especially about the availability of applications. That way, it could be Windows Phone will be the alternatives that's worth mentioning other than android and iOS that have been the most preferred by consumer.

At last, Microsoft mobilize their financial resources to promote Windows Phone 8. As we know, Microsoft poured a lot of money to promote Windows 8, but also the Windows 8 RT tablet and of course Windows Phone 8 for the smartphone as well.
