Premium prices for aged spec's. I don't think this is gonna fly. Are Microsoft killing their Tablet OS before they start. Delivery after all other manufacturers have released in 2012 and not allowing partners to release because "they are making changes".
Lenovo are targeting the iPad market here with only the slow selling Windows Phone 7 (although it is a good OS) to back it up.
Google have it spot on with the Nexus 7, get people used to the platform on a tablet with a price that appeals to a mass market, this is where GOogle knows its market well. Get them hooked on the cheap stuff (loss leaders that is, not cheap crap) then follow up with solid hardware and better (albeit I still maintain messy) OS.
Lets hope the Surface is priced more suitably, it looks like a very nice tablet.
So.......it seems the tech manufacturers are trying to corner off the tablet market in THEIR favour by pricing in the 700 range. "WOULD" be a smart idea if Apple was doing the same and not such high quality hardware for the 450-500 price.

Agreed. At least have a display that matches the 8.9" Kindle Fire HD or Infinity Transformer if you're going at that price, Keyboard is a perk however, but it's going to woo some of their customers into buying one, thing again..
