Definitely good news.Kind of pricey but considering what you get in an iPad for the price,I guess you can kind of justify the price of a Windows tablet

I'm waiting to see what Nokia has to release in 2013 and the newer models Samsung pushes out. I've always been interested in tablets but all of them have some sort of con that makes me not want it.
