According to Apple insider "the 5,000 attendees were given a prototype tablet, dubbed Windows 8 Developer Preview.

The tablet is a Samsung series 7 tablet and features a 1.6GHz processor, 11.6-inch screen, dual cameras and is a "pre-release product".

According to Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, “Windows 8 represents the redesign of Windows PCs." Associated Foreign Press quoted Sinofsky as saying. "You saw some little snafus today; there are going to be more of them."
