MIcrosoft Tablet

OK. It is rather nice looking. I fully expect them to drop the ball before it becomes a reality. Still not sure about the Windows 8 interface and too lazy to download it and try it. Actually I probably don't have any hardware that will run it.

I was going to give this a fair chance until i learned they don't have a release date or prices yet. Doomed.
this will fail just as fast as their Kin phone nonsense http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/06/four-reasons-why-microsofts-kin-phone-failed/

Looks a whole lot like this. The difference is you can buy this one now.

Normally I would see this as a great innovation and competitor for the iPad, but I just don't view it that way. It looks like nothing more than a mini laptop and probably has less capabilities than one of those eBooks.

Ok maybe not that bad, but I just can't see it competing with the iPad in any sort of real way. Buy one Macbook Air and all of a sudden you're an Apple snob apparently.

As long as micro$oft doesn't lock the OS down tighter than a frog's ass like Apple there will be people that buy it. Some people like me like to play around and tweak the device how they like.
