This is what Andriod/iPad fanboys do not get. They think the biggest thing about this is the keyboard. It's not.
It's that it's running Windows 8. The full version. So all the software you have on your current computer is going to work with this. Fully synch ability. All the benefits of having a netbook/laptop in a nice tablet
The "regular" version has an ARM chip, not an x86 chip. "All the software on your current computer" is not going to run on it unless ported to ARM. The "Pro" version with the i5 is supposed to be priced in the ultrabook range (~$1200+), which is a good deal more than any iPad or Android tablet. At that price, I'd rather have the full laptop really.

so those pretty Lumina 900s, released less than a month ago, will still be getting new apps, right? Android and apple screw existing customers with release cycles, but this may be a new low
"Android" has nothing to do with release cycles. Google can release updates but the manufacturers/carriers are the ones that make the decision on whether or not they're going to puch it out. That's why I went with a "google" phone, the Galaxy Nexus, hopefully that will be supported for longer being a dev phone.
