Looks cool but as with all MS products you are better waiting until the first Upgrade  ;D

That keyboard would last 5 seconds in a school before being ripped off.

Looks to be a direct copy of my ASUS Eee pad TF101 Transformer running Android. I agree with the above. I dont like the Keyboard and this would not survive in my home let alone the school.

The are bringing out a thicker cover with push buttons like a normal key board. Even normal keyboards dont last at our school

I think its three ipad versions too late, sure the touch screen even broke down at the event and they had to swap it for another one, i think the only way this could trump an ipad would be its full AD support(if it has it).

I think it could be a case of the iPad being too well established now, plus apple are rolling out volume licensing in the uk soon.

Its never too late to change the game, but I don't think this product is the one thats going to.  It's a game I won't be playing anyway - tablet pcs seem pointless to me.
