If it could kill the fags who buy them it would be a big step in the right direction.

Most people buy these retarded things to show off in the bus, train etc. Like little kids or girls would. This is, in 99.9 % of the cases, the reason why people buy them. And because "they can", too. I can buy it and look "egdy", so i have to. Obviously mankind isnt going anywhere following that path.
Cant you wait to be back home to read about the fucking weather or "consult" the stupid messages you got from people who are as stupid, useless, fake, vain as you? No, you have to show the whole fucking world you can contact them and watch the weather in the fucking bus/train. THAT will show them how fucking gay/shallow trendy you are!
And to think we re nearing a shortage in ressources for all the rare metals used in those useless pieces of shit. I have no problem with progress and miniaturization, but selling it to everyone to make money simply because people want to look cool is a just a sign of the deliquessence of our modern degenerate society. I can understand someone who needs it for his job to carry one, but let's face it, 99.9 % of people who use them in public transportations just text , watch stupid stuff while taking care to let you know "inadvertandly" by moving the screen in your eysight etc , pretend to do important or cool things but in fact just bought them solely to show off. Look at me! I'm listening to a fucking hip hop concert and watching it on my little toy! I'm so fucking powerful, smart, "in" ! Living the life!
I want to take their little gadget out of their hands and smash it into their face.

Also, most of these pieces of junk are willingly built to last only 1 to 2 years so you re forced to buy the next  model. Internal components are weak and you cant even repair them yourself anymore, because it's been built precisely not to be repaired. Again, this trend is absolutely catastrophic. Short sighted view of the world. Bad use of everything we can access because people lack the most basic common sense.

To think people who buy that shit are the same who pretend to be "eco friendly" socialists/liberals. The same whose parents were hippies in the 60s. How ironic.

You must only work in an office, or don't have a real job. I have a construction related company that requires me to be in the field a lot, like in different regions daily. These little things come in very handy. I had a net book first that had an aircard, then got an iPad. It is a good way to be able to work on the fly. I don't use public transportation, or go to Starbucks, so I have no need to show off my technology.

Tge only competition apple has is samsung. Microsoft had all this time and this piece of shit is the best they came up with?

Samsungs galaxy s1 beats the iphone 4 all day. Not to mention hoe badly their s3 dedtroys wverything also. Samsungs tablet also shits on the ipad. I kno what u mean uberman, I see this shit all the time in college. Gay little apple homos walking around and sitting with their ipads, iphones, macbooks, etc.

The fact that steve jobs said that he would spend every last dollar of the billions apple has, to kill off android, means he is very scared of the future for apple. Android will soon enough surpass them.

BRRRRILLIANT!

 ::) ::)

The kick stand is actually such a basic thing but its so freaking useful.  A brand of Android tablets called "Archos" has them standards in most all their tablets, I used to have one and they come in handy so much - no need for a case or anything!


Now I'm an Android guy through and through for my phone and my tablet... but I want to give some praise to the Microsoft tablet....  

If you have used Windows phone 7 and Windows 8 (I have used both) you will see how freaking SMOOTH it is and just so FLUID...  I mean its even more smooth than iOS - and thats REALLY saying something!  The new Microsoft OS really has much potential!

But there are two problems in my eyes:

1.  Its Microsoft - and for some reason Microsoft like to over complicate shit so much, I just can imagine some annoyances popping up all the time which really take away from the experience.
2.  The Ecosystem and App availability is very far from Android and REALLY VERY far from Apple...  this takes time, but you really don't know what will happen when they start to catch up Google and Apple could have progressed THAT much more by then.

I watched the Microsoft press conference last night, I think they said 9.2 mm which is right in par with the new ipad , so same thickness.

Btw the keyboard is not standard, its a part of the cover which is separate .  The kick stand is a part of tablet's magnesium body.

Windows tablets in the past have been major disasters.  I used to own one.

But I think Microsoft really stepped up there game this time, the ui is amazing....

Is it an ipad killer though?... doubtful... its a case of too little too late sprinkled with some Microsoft lol

the problem is that in the past microsoft was trying to put a computer's user interface into a tablet which was the wrong thing to do that's right thing that apple ended up doing

Looks like there are two versions of this tablet. Both have a 10.6 inch screen. Unfortunately it is 6X9 for video. I  prefer 3X4 for viewing photos.

You can attach SD cards and on the bigger Windows tablet you can have up to 128 more Gb. Capacity is up to 128 in the body. So you can carry much more info

than the iPads. The best thing are the ports. USB 2 for the thinner one and USB3 for the thicker one. That wins me over. Plus the keyboard. Well done, Microsoft.

Not sure about the resolution of the screen but they claim HD so it must be 1900 X 1080 or so.

IPads suck re accessing information and uploading files. I hate iTunes. Apple will lose sales when others have tablets that are easier to download to and modify files.

yes sometimes i cant load in my downloaded music files in the itunes, and on apple tv when i visit youtube it is censoring out a lot of music videos which are probably illegal in apple's eyes.

1080p screens are usually classified as FHD.

I hate apple but we should appreciate their innovation. It forces other companies to step up. Hopefully with apples new high resolution notebook screens, companies will start to phase out those pathetic 720p displays.

Yeah, that's the only thing that's putting me off - I was having a bit of a mess around with it in the shop the other day and I liked it but I'm not sure it's ideal for transporting about. The SII looks fairly decent as well and is a bit smaller.

I hate apple but we should appreciate their innovation.

What innovation?The only thing they have going for them now is a better app store.They brought out the first touch screen phone/tablet but thats where the innovation ended, "retina" display is just apples renaming of a high def screen.

If it could kill the fags who buy them it would be a big step in the right direction.

Most people buy these retarded things to show off in the bus, train etc. Like little kids or girls would. This is, in 99.9 % of the cases, the reason why people buy them. And because "they can", too. I can buy it and look "egdy", so i have to. Obviously mankind isnt going anywhere following that path.
Cant you wait to be back home to read about the fucking weather or "consult" the stupid messages you got from people who are as stupid, useless, fake, vain as you? No, you have to show the whole fucking world you can contact them and watch the weather in the fucking bus/train. THAT will show them how fucking gay/shallow trendy you are!
And to think we re nearing a shortage in ressources for all the rare metals used in those useless pieces of shit. I have no problem with progress and miniaturization, but selling it to everyone to make money simply because people want to look cool is a just a sign of the deliquessence of our modern degenerate society. I can understand someone who needs it for his job to carry one, but let's face it, 99.9 % of people who use them in public transportations just text , watch stupid stuff while taking care to let you know "inadvertandly" by moving the screen in your eysight etc , pretend to do important or cool things but in fact just bought them solely to show off. Look at me! I'm listening to a fucking hip hop concert and watching it on my little toy! I'm so fucking powerful, smart, "in" ! Living the life!
I want to take their little gadget out of their hands and smash it into their face.

Also, most of these pieces of junk are willingly built to last only 1 to 2 years so you re forced to buy the next  model. Internal components are weak and you cant even repair them yourself anymore, because it's been built precisely not to be repaired. Again, this trend is absolutely catastrophic. Short sighted view of the world. Bad use of everything we can access because people lack the most basic common sense.

To think people who buy that shit are the same who pretend to be "eco friendly" socialists/liberals. The same whose parents were hippies in the 60s. How ironic.

Translation = You can't afford one.

I remember about three months (or was it three weeks?) before the iPad was announced the HP Slate powered by Microsoft was supposed to preempt and kill the iPad.  Anyone own one of these?  ::)

I think you're confusing innovative with inventive.

It's simple, apple introduces a high 2500x1600 res IPS screen on a laptop, The tech isn't ground-breaking, but more expensive to produce. In turn other company's are eventually forced to compete and introduce their own high res models, eventually making these fancy features cheaper for us. Don't expect apple to price theirs competitively.

Hope this helps.

I got one from HP for $99.  It doesn't look like the photo, is heavy as shit and lame OS.  I have an ipad as well and use that all the time.

Why doesn't it look like the photo?  Can you take some pix of this and share?  What (if anything) can this device do?  Can it surf the web? do email?  Was any software ever written for it?  When did you buy it?  Why? ???  I remember the tremendous hype that went into the Slate but it disappeared with such a whimper I was never sure its as every made or sold.

Analyst: Apple can 'relax,' as Google Nexus 7 is 'just another' Android tablet
