With Apple launching patent lawsuits against rivals Samsung and HTC and demanding that related products be banned, other tablet makers have no hope of making profits before Google released the Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system at the end of 2011. According to insiders from the Taiwanese big Dairy factory, their anticipation against Apple has returned to the old Wintel Alliance.

Sources also pointed out that Windows 8 is unlikely to be released before the fourth quarter of 2012. At the same time, Apple is expected to officially launch iPad 3 in March 2012, so the next year may be the PC industry The most difficult period of time.
