Microsoft and Barnes & Noble formed a “strategic partnership” in April, uniting Barnes & Noble’s digital business with $300 million in investment with Microsoft. The new, jointly backed company has not yet been given a name. A story published by TechCrunch over the weekend said that details about the company -- and its first potential product, a tablet -- would be revealed Monday.
That doesn't mean Microsoft won't unveil a tablet; it just means it won't be a Barnes & Noble one. Either way, Microsoft has promised Monday's announcement will be "major." There's less than seven hours to go and the location of the event still not yet been revealed. Check back in with us at 3:30 p.m. PT -- we’ll be blogging all the action live.
