By all accounts, Windows tablets have yet to catch on in the mainstream market in the way the iPad or smaller Android tablets have, despite efforts from numerous manufacturers including Microsoft itself. But that isnt stopping tablet makers from pressing on, and today Toshiba released the Encore 2, its latest Windows 8 tablet effort. Toshiba is taking the same strategy that made customers first take notice of Android tablets: its pricing the Encore 2 at $199 to start, a drop of $130 from last years model and lower than similar efforts from Lenovo and Dell. Android tablets didnt get much traction with customers until the Nexus 7 came along in 2012 at a starting price of $199.
