But good god at that price, unless Japan is always much more expensive.

5mins to go roughly (video seems to be delayed a few mins) although kind of depends as ipad video and android video are out of sync by two minutes.

Just tuned in then, must say i was quite impressed by the system search I really liked how that linked into what apps you have installed so if you search for something you can go straight to Wikipedia. Still not enough to make me upgrade but still very cool stuff.

im impressed

bastic · 25 Oct 2012 at 16:57

I like what Im seeing.
finally no windows re sizing to watch video and browse net at same time

What what's more impressive, nothing to do with stream.

Only 6% off apps on the windows store do not support RT

Almost all applications are available in both x86 and x64 architectures. Only two apps appear to solely target Windows RT (ARM), 31 target only Windows 8 x64 and don’t have Windows 8 x86 or Windows RT support. The gap I first noticed some time ago is still there, however. While almost all apps support Windows 8 on x86 and x64, 6% of apps do not support Windows RT on ARM at this time. This may change after GA when developers can test on Windows RT systems – but it may always stay lower, reflecting the challenges of developing WinRT apps on Windows RT that I have heard from several developers.

No idea. I'm just posting from a stat website. I have no access to either windows store.

I liked how ativ looked like...but am tempted to get series 7 slate ...

RaidenGB · 25 Oct 2012 at 19:23

am i right in thinking the Acer Iconia W700 comes with Windows 8 and not Windows RT??

Surface is getting some poor reviews judging by some US tech sites, crashes and poor selection of Apps, one said it was too heavy and cumbersome.

Off to Apple I go

That's expected on a new product.
Most people dont like change and prefer existing iOS or Android. This is totally different and i like it!
