Microsoft has October 6 date for Windows 10 device launch event

Microsoft has started sending out invitations for its Windows 10 devices event on October 6. Microsoft will likely showcase the Surface Pro 4 and premium Lumia devices codenamed Cityman and Talkman.

“We’re eager to share some exciting news about Windows 10 devices,” a Microsoft spokeswoman said.

Further reports suggest that Microsoft could also show its Band 2 wearable device but the fact that it doesn’t run Windows 10 means it might not make an appearance.

Microsoft has hosted an event at IFA where it spoke about the features of Windows 10 already familiar to users and showed all the partner devices.

At Apple Event, Microsoft showed a new version of Office productivity customised to take advantage of iPad Pro’s 12.9-inch screen and newly introduced accessory – Apple Pencil. Now it would be interesting to see how Microsoft differentiates its own hardware. Also Microsoft had earlier announced that it would retain the charging mechanism and form factor of existing device.

With Windows 10’s facial recognition feature Hello not available on Surface Pro 3, Microsoft would bring Intel’s real sense camera to its productivity tablet to offer wider feature set to enterprise customers.

Microsoft launched Windows 10 in July, almost three years after the launch of its previous operating system, Windows 8.

The new OS, designed to work across laptops, desktops and smartphones, is part of the company’s push to win back lost ground in tablets and mobiles.
