One more me-too product from MS, what else is new?
But did anyone think it would take *this* long for MS to responds to the iPhone and iPod touch? It's been years, now. Talk about being behind the curve.
Of course, in usual Microsoft timing this will surely come out after Apple announces the MacTablet/iNewton.
Uh... these are minimum specs for manufacturers. Unless by 'me too' you mean 'choice of product' in which case I'm not sure who you would compare them to.
Cool, I didn't know Apple (because you are obviously a fanboy) had any products that could match what a Tegra based device could do, or what the Xbox 360 can do in the living room.
Have fun playing your games on your iPhone in between class, or waiting for your mom to pick you up from soccer practice.
yeah...good thing apple is not behind the curve with announcing a tablet in 2009....they got at the forefront of that revolution....and also gaming....there are a sh!t-ton of amazing titles to choose from in that mac compatible catalog.....they're right on the mark with establishing their computers as gaming machines as well as a place to house your mp3's....
Hah yes, Apple doesn't even have a tablet on the market and I already own a multi-touch tablet. Apple is always hilariously behind the curve, they just know how to market their over-priced old-world tech to the ignorant masses better than anyone else.
@Anticrawl, You boast about having a multitouch tablet but do you even use the multitouch feature of that tablet? I would guess now or very rarely. The thing is you can have the best hardware in the world, but running Microsoft software cripples it heavily. It amounts to nothing when you don't use those capabilities for anything or that they're so difficult that you don't feel like using it.
Apple might always be behind the curve in bringing out the latest fancy hardware specs in the market, but when they do, they teach a lesson in software usability to rest of the manufacturers who have been doing that for ages before that. That's what happenned with the iPhone, and that's what's going to happen with the Apple tablet as well. Tablet computers have been in existance for years, but Apple would teach the people how to effectively use it, just as they did with the iPhone.
This is coming from an owner of a lenovo multi touch tablet for over 2 years now. I can't say I have used the multitouch feature of that after the novelty factor wore out.

Die in a blazing red ring of fire?

@Anticrawl:
You mean like when Apple was "behind the curve" when they developed an OS that Microsoft later ripped off and called Windows?
Oh yea, you're right.

And how Steve Jobs stole it from Xerox...
