However, we still haven't heard a word about a tablet OS until now. Canonical unveiled the tablet version of Ubuntu today during the same time as HTC's event, and while the news might have gotten drowned out by the new HTC One smartphone, open-source fanatics are no doubt excited for a tablet version of Ubuntu.

Google officially announced and showed off the Nexus 10 at last year's Google I/O conference, and it certainly gave all other tablets a run for their money -- the high-resolution display being just one big feature of the new device.

The same thing happened with the Samsung-made Nexus 10 tablet much more recently.
