    Take THAT iPad...

    http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/m...ctures-and-de/

    Now if it's open enough (i.e. there's a decent enough dev kit) and the hardware turns out to be alright, MS could be onto something.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Apple to sue microsoft?

    Idea looks good, much better than ipad, but similar story with HTC vs iphone... I am predicting that all the sheep will prefer the ipad.

    Looks very good. I much prefer the foldable dual screen. Its much easier to prop up and hold something shaped like a book, this I think is important if it's to be truly mobile.

    I'm also looking forward to seeing what the Tegra 2 chipset is really capable of rather than what is seen in prototype devices.

    Looks quite good, if it ever arrives, ad would be on my wanted list.

    Just hoping more magazines go down the digital copy route, like autosport has.

    Re: Take THAT iPad...

    So.. Apple needs to worry about.. an animation?

    Nothing much more than a spoiler released on the same day that apple announced the iPad release date..

    I think I'd need to wait until both platforms were actually available and could be physically held and used before I could really comment..

    It might look nice from the animation, but if the build quality is pish, or the software particularly bug-ridden, it could end up as much as a damp squib as the nexus one and the palm pre have turned out to be..

    Who knows?

    Re: Take THAT iPad...

    We all remember how cool the MS tabletop thingy looked right? I suspect we'll never see this device in the exact configuration we see here...
