Unlike companies such as Samsung, which have the freedom to throw products against the wall only to see whether they stick, HTC is forced to be more calculated with its efforts. With this in mind, Bloomberg now reports that HTC has canceled its plan for a 12-inch Windows RT tablet, which was previously rumored to be in the works alongside a smaller 7-inch Windows RT slate. Sources spoke to Bloomberg on anonymity, but suggested the decision was made based on concern that the 12-inch tablet would be too expensive to generate considerable demand. Coinciding with the launch of the 7-inch RT tablet -- which is now pegged for September or October -- Bloomberg sources also suggest that HTC will launch a similar 7-inch Android tablet in the same time frame. Talk about hedging one's bets.

Smart move, two flops in a row (HTC First and now this) would be risky for a company like HTC.

This sounds like a worse problem for Microsoft and their push for Windows RT to be successful.

Android tablet or Windows tablet? Of course they wont invest any more on a struggling platform when they themselves are honorably pushing for a turnaround. (no scams here yall)

But seriously good for them, gives them time to focus on the Nexus tablet ONE or ~~Galaxy~~ Universe ONE Note and snatch some critical acclaim.

HTC her turnaround! Rise HTC. Back from irrelevancy and the lessor toys will deal.

Wasn't the One supposed to be HTC's only flagship phone this year.

It's way too early to release a "One Note", they need to establish themselves first and focus on one device.

No one here for Win 8 Tablets anyway. Better buy a laptop with touchcreen. If you really want a tablet buy an android tablet!
