It's an interesting alternative to the more conventional tablets coming out next year. Knowing Microsoft they wouldn't actually release this because it might threaten all the Windows licenses they are selling on net books. They wouldn't want to take the risk of creating a new market when there's a chance another company could come along and do it better on a more or less equal playing ground. If this was any other company I'd be excited about this device but I just don't think Microsoft has what it takes from a business perspective to launch a new class of mobile device.
