Sony unveiled a new Family Touch PC named the VAIO Tap 20 at the IFA event. The device will feature an exclusive stand, so that the users can adjust the device in different positions such as upright and lay-flat. When laid flat, the Tap 20 looks like a tablet and while standing upright it looks like a desktop. The stand is quite heavy and the users will have to put a lot of effort to shift the device from desktop to tablet mode. VAIO Tap 20 will run on Windows 8 OS. With the arrival of Windows 8, the manufacturers are coming up with their latest and innovative ways to make use of the touch capabilities offered by the new operating system.
