Samsung could be teaming up with Microsoft on Windows 8 tablet

Samsung may have recently denied rumors about licensing out webOS, but that isn’t stopping the company from exploring other venues. Surprisingly, the usually pro-Google Samsung could be cutting a deal with one of the search giant’s biggest competitors, as rumors are now pointing to a joint Samsung-Microsoft tablet in the works.

We recently heard about Microsoft showing off a quad-core tablet at a New Zealand conference, and now word from the Korea Economic Daily and This is my Next indicates that the device could be a joint Microsoft-Samsung slate. The tablet will most likely be running Windows 8, but it could also be powered by an ARM processor such as NVIDIA's awaited Kal-El APU.

Sadly not much else is known about the tablet, but all indications point to it being on hand at the Microsoft BUILD developer conference in California on the 13^th of September. Furthermore,  Microsoft and Samsung could be passing the device out to attendees at the event, so you might want to hurry and grab tickets before they sell out.
