Also, which would you prefer - a device that you can plug a SIM into, or one that you can't? Microsoft's tablet only has WIFI, which is a major market killer for business applications.
So if you had to splurge on a tab, which would you go for - a tab that supports 3G, or one that doesn't? Very disappointing. Right now they appear to be going for the stupid rich Microsoft fanboys who will be silly enough to purchase this device and then pay again when the true mobile versions come out. This is the Zune all over again. They will have an initial take up from fanboys, and then watch sales drop dramatically afterwards. Tell me I'm wrong?
