It's funny, as somebody who's looking forward to the iPad, I look at this device with the same skepticism that people bring to Apple's tablet. I have to give MS full credit for innovation. I've never viewed them as overly innovative, but the Zune HD, Windows 7 and now this are actually quite impressive. The creative horsepower that went into this is pretty fun to watch.
I am stuck wondering how it would fit into my daily workflow though. Not a big sketcher, I hate writing and I've never had a journal. I can definitely see a chunk of the population (creative types) loving a device like this ... I'd like to see more from MS on how other types of people could use it though.
Possible release in Q3 or Q4 ... so perhaps we might see a functional unit over the summer? By functional unit I just mean something other than a mock-up.
