CNET is reporting today that Microsoft’s Bill Gates will be showing a prototype Tablet with a 6 inch screen that could be available in a couple of years. The mini Tablet was apparently commisioned by Microsoft and is as thin as "10 sheets of paper with a camera, a battery that lasts all day and a price of about $800". The prototype mini Tablet will be shown as an example of where Microsoft is heading. Also to be shown is a notebook with an auxilliary display on the outside of the PC so information can be checked while the notebook is closed and a next generation Tablet PC from Acer.
