MMM… I’m still wondering how MS will deal with WinRT vs Win X86/64 thing… This kind of device aren’t aimed to proper work, they’re just to do little small task, despite I’m bein capable of doing my Documents on a Android tablet (bought an Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 plus a BT Keyboaard) it isn’t a thing I really wanna do… and playing a game like Diablo, sorry but it’s to hard Diablo a the likes need biggers screens… One Note, MS doens’t need Nokia, in a whole year they’ve learned a lot from Nokia, an one of the most valuable thing they learn is that really goo danm design sell!!!

Soon, this Nokia blog will be turned out windows blog, Nokia will not be any more..! Jay needs to consider other options.
Microsoft betrayed its partners…They should have remained as software giant….Now it is not healthy for both its hardware partners and to it.

As Nokia killed the Symbian and abandoned the lovely “Meego”…they don’t have any place to go. Even if they drop MS and came out and continue with Meego….it will be an another year to come up with excellent products. May be loyal people like Jay, Me and other wait, But Market won’t.

The last hope for Nokia is today, Windows 8 Apollo sneak peak summit will tell us about Nokia’s hard work of last two years. If this turn out fail…Then Nokia fail. Blackberry 10 will be the third eco system. Google will come up with Desktop OS and Microsoft will soon reap their effects of its betrayal.

YOU MADE WRONG DECISION NOKIA by CHOOSING WP.!

I definitely disagree with you on calling Surface uninspiring Jay. While I would love for Nokia to produce something even better than Surface I don’t think they will be able to in the first round and now I think it will better if Nokia concentrates on the mid-range because Microsoft has the high-end sewn up.

Though I’m making a few assumptions about what we don’t know such as I assume it will have LTE on board for North America and whatever is most appropriate for the rest of the world. I don’t care about the price myself because this will be the best tablet ever conceived to date. I was hoping that I would be going for a Nokia tablet and I still might–perhaps a Intel Surface and a Nokia WinRT.

This is the first tablet with a full-fledged OS, EPIC has already said that Microsoft hit it out of the park with it and they cannot wait to get the Unreal Engine on it. The flood gates are going to open and this will push W8 tablets into the mainstream. I want one now.

humm one can reverse that into “Why would anyone buy this when they could have a ultrabook?
But I’m not a “pad” fan except for the inflight entertainment thing were I use mine.
For casual mail I Use my n950. For real work my almost workstation laptop (think I will replace its by a Samsung series 7 15 inch), leaving the pad thing for movies and wasting time wile going across the big pond.

Surface just changed the tablet and ultrabook game in my opinion. Or at least the Intel version. Why would anyone buy a ultrabook when they could have this? I really can’t think of an area this device does not cover..

You want to play Diablo 3, covered. Want to import RAW photos and edit them in Lightroom, covered. Want to play a simple game like Angry Birds covered. Want to paint in Corel Painter or Photoshop using a stylus covered. It is not only the coolest looking slate out there but also laptop. I think they hit this one out of the park. It just solves every area I had with slates and ultrabooks.

On that tablet there should be Nokia logo, not M$. That would lift Nokia back to it’s feet.
But I fear that Nokia is too far behind on this tablet market and maybe we never see Nokia tablet
