What I find interesting is the size of it. Given battery technology isn't up to par, I think it's a good move by MS to make it as small as it is. I guess the beauty of such things as this is the "thin" factor, but I think that's where a company can really say screw it, concentrate on better performance. Certainly there is a thin line between optimal performance and aesthetic appearance, but personally, I'd rather a tablet be 2" thick and run 2Ghz and have multitasking than 1" thick and run 1Ghz and no multitasking. It's just me, but I'm finding it odd that MS even after seeing Apple monkeying around bigtime with no multitasking, and launching their version much later, doesn't allow for it when that could be a dealbreaker for many. Cool device, though looking more and more of a niche product than the iPad unfortunately.
