Sales of Windows RT tablets in Europe to stop due to weak demand

[newarkhiphop]

We already know that Samsung was too timid (or maybe too sensible) to launch its Windows RT-based ATIV Tab hybrid in the US, but now it appears the manufacturer is having doubts about European demand too. Heise.de and our friends at MobileGeeks are reporting that Samsung will stop selling its ATIV Tab in Germany -- Europe's biggest economy -- and some other unspecified European countries after speaking to retailers about the level of interest they're seeing for Microsoft's stripped down OS. This European retreat is said to have been confirmed by Samsung execs at CeBIT in Hanover, and MobileGeeks editor Sascha Pallenberg told us that the Korean company simply "sees no market for RT in Germany and other European countries." We've asked Samsung for further clarification and we'll update this post as soon as we hear back. As things stand, the ATIV Tab is still listed for sale by Amazon.de priced at 605 euros.

Samsung will stop sale of Windows RT tablets in Germany due to weak demand, according to reports

we will know , only thing i can is that soon as rumors of sale start, need to have that money in the card, cards in hand and ready to pull the trigger, i was the first one to break the TP on sohh, but it took me like 3 weeks to eat

i figure places like best buy, staples etc will have the first round , followed by ebay and other second hand sellers

Good. I don't know who in they're right minds would invest in this windows downgrade. If you want apps and a tablet form there's plenty of options better than this late to the market tech.

That windows 8 pro tho

Naw, MS will not do a firesale. They know their future depends on the tablet game. If they do, it'll be apart of their strategy to get people in their ecosystem and they will release new tablets.
