Android Vs Windows 8 Tablet, display. these apps will be run in full screenand be written in javascript and html5 making it simple to get apps up and running.internet explorer 10 is the first app to work in this mode and there are alreadyseveral widgets that allow you to check various things such as twitter, weather andmuch more.
taking a closer look you’ll find that theui looks fantastic. gone are the days of the start menu, now replaced by tiles that allowyou to jump from app to app with minimal effort. the multitasking also looks great,with a swipe from the left allowing you to drag in more apps and snap them into place.if for some reason you want to go back to the standard windows desktop and look at appsjust like you do in windows 7 it’s just a quick switch away. on the technical sideof things there have been quite a few changes from windows 7. the first of which is fullsupport for arm processors, allowing tablets to run with slower and more power efficientchips such as the nvidia tegra 2 that is already in several android tablets today.this also means that several improvements
