Microsoft Surface pricing

You are confused....
This is Surface.
The other product coming out is Surface Pro.
There is no such thing as Surface RT
RT refers to the operating system Windows 8 RT

You better let everyone know then... they are all referring to this as the Surface RT... all except Ms perhaps.

Patiently waiting for a proper laptop replacement. Now if only M$ would hurry the **** up.
 
I was really hoping the pricing would be a little keener, as it would be an extremely handy tool for my work. Maybe the company would consider subsidising it :)
 
When are windows 8 phones dropping? My vodacom upgrade is ready, i have a choice between BB, iphone and what else using windows 8?

Really can't afford to waste this upgrade on the iphone when windows 8 is better.

If only they could have a Free app of the day system like Amazon and iOS so you can start building up a collection...
