Windows Surface Tablets from Microsoft!

So Want...

+1 to Microsoft.

I'm planning on getting one, it's finally a tablet build that will actually meet my requirements. Straight tablets are too frustrating to use for business. Acer Transformers have the right idea but are too bulky and run Android which causes issues for enterprise interoperability. This type of Surface would be perfect, combines a light weight tablet, with built in keyboard that doubles as a protective cover, plus the stand will be useful when using it in meetings when a lot more typing is needed.

It seems Microsoft have finally got there head screwed on.

Also one problem with the keyboard is it won't really work on your lap.

There are 2 types, 1 is the multi-touch panel type but there is also a version that's a bit thicker but has proper keys.

so... it's basically an ipad, with a touch sensitive keyboard, running win8/metro ?

My predictions:-
1) keyboard will be pants

Maybe, but it would be hard to come up with something as useless as an on-screen keypad.

The same Metro apps to run on:

PCs
Phones
Surface Tablets
Xbox

So you start to see Microsoft's game plan

indeed... they've clearly gone for form (thinness) over function (any kind of feedback?)

Bless, I do feel sorry for people when this sort of thing happens, but he could've just admitted it and made a joke of it
