Tegra 3, as well as the next generation of Snapdragon and TI OMAP have been certified for Win 8 tablets, along with Intel's Clover Trail platform.

Possible, but not really sure about that.

This is quality software, not like others which are just designed to meet deadlines.

Hmmmm. Dual-boot (android/windows) would be nice. One for gaming and another for productivity. :p

That is what I want. It can even have ubuntu on the side for good measure.

This COULD take the pad concept into a whole new and great direction.. IF, and that's a HUGE if.. MS doesn't price things so high that nobody will take the plunge.

If the win8 tablets are anywhere near the pricing as the iPad.. forget it.

I agree the specs are great but I'm tired of over priced tabs that are just big phones in general like android tabs. But I'm willing to pay comfortably 400 off contract and $300 on contract if so.

Windows 8 OS and the Blue stacks App that enables a windows computers to run Android apps will be a big thing in the the Tablet world. It means that when the windows 8 tablet comes to market it can loaded with Apps from Windows and Andriod sources thus making them worth buying and very useful for many many things. Windows 8 tablets wont be dud devices.
