It must be the first time I see a MS product that's actually cool, although I should try it to tell if it's really good too.

BTW I recently tried a friend's iPad and while it can be a practical concept in many situations, I don't really like it very much: for some unknown reasons very often it didn't feel my touch and I had to "click" things many times, having to type much text the virtual keyboard isn't very comfy, and finally, special characters and accented letters aren't quickly accessible and this makes it awkward to type in Italian and even worse in French and Spanish (even writing a short message to my Peruvian GF was a pain on it).

Long story short: what I saw up until know made me decide that I'll probably end up buying a tablet, but I'll pay it as little as possible, as even the currently most expensive one isn't so good for my tastes, and I like it less than notebooks that I could pay half as much.

Well if you get an Android tablet you can bet there's almost always an app for something you need. For example, I found an Icelandic keyboard app for my Nexus 7 a few days ago and I love it

Yes, I'm almost sure I'll choose Android both for smartphone and tablet... For the smartphone, I don't even think I could find another one shock and water resistant at the same price, or better, of the Motorola Defy Mini, less than 140€ at Euronics. BTW, my friend's iPad obviously had an Italian virtual kb as its standard one, nevertheless even the accented letters most used in Italian weren't easily accessible, add the touchscreen not feeling reliably my touch, it was very disappointing for a product so expensive.
