Still not worth it. The Windows Store has no good apps on it. Not even an official Facebook app.
With tablets, its all about the apps. Even Android tablets are still lagging in that deparment.

iPad really is the best option for someone looking for the best there is. iPad Mini if you're on a budget.

Out of curiosity, besides games(where IOS has a clear advantage over Android) what apps can you get on an iPad that are unavailable on Android?

Well there's Facebook. Tumblr, Vine, Instagram..etc..etc. It's missing the most popular apps out there.

I LOVE GIGGS

Wow, did this device flop or what? Just like I perdicted.

I've personally never seen one of these in the wild or even advertized here in Sweden. Marketshare must be dismal.

Microsoft didn't even try to sell it in Sweden. They sell it at 5 or 6 countries only.

I think what they wanted with this device is to set the standard for Windows 8 tablets. They didn't try to dominate the market.

Even at launch, it was only available at Microsoft stores.

Huh? All four of those are most certainly available on Andriod.

That is patently false.

iPad and RT or android tablets are really useless crap IMO anyway.... a smartphone and hybrid combo is way better... to me it's just shovel ware that are not really smartphones not really PCs..... and people are loving it... but unless real cloud base application becomes the norm it will be sooner or later merged with the hybrid market and completely disappear.....
