I think the strategy of auto-scaling apps has failed, Google should do something about it.

Waiting Desperately for Surface and other Windows 8 Pro based tablets...

I actually have to agree with you. There are really no very good tablets right now. There are some okay ones. The iPad is just a joke, you can't do anything with that more than you could with an iPod Touch (except for data connectivity). And then Android tablets have been plagued by lack of apps and underwhelming hardware. The reason I would buy a tablet is to have the portability and entertainment of a smartphone, but the productivity of a laptop, but so far, there isn't anything like that. I want office on a tablet!!!....... And that's where surface comes in... Even though I'm an avid Android fan (I love it for my S3), I do not want an Android tablet. I want the Surface (or a different Windows 8 tablet). So It strikes that balance of laptop productivity and smartphone media consumption.

I completely agree. I would love to see a dual boot Android/Ubuntu tablet come out similar to what windows is coming out with.

Yeah I mean how awesome would a Windows/Android tablet be?... But I doubt that'll ever happen. I guess we'll just leave that to my dreams...

Beside Kindle Fire, Android tablets are also being canibalized by the phabets. Samsung claimed they sold 7 million Galaxy notes in just 8 months.

Galaxy note isn't a tablet.. unless Google is counting that, we will never know

he said that TABLETS were being cannibalized by PHABLETS, never said note is a tablet, and im assuming that google would know the difference between a phone and a tablet

25 million tablets worldwide isn't that hard to believe.

and why is that? app selection? I mean most android tablets can do more than most any other tab on the market

Don't mind him, he's just a nokia fanboy, envious of the Android ecosystem.

its not the apps people want to do on tablets if u are correct why its tablet market not captured by android i should recommend full linux on tablet then andorid because apps is not the whole game here tablet is to big for just games and newspapers and casual stuff as MS highlighted their point of view for tablet is correct

I think you're a wee bit prejudiced.
Transformer Prime wouldn't be "infinitely" less powerful than your low end laptop

http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2011/2/21/why-nvidiae28099s-tegra-3-is-faster-than-a-core-2-duo-t7200.aspx

It would also:
- be about 4-6 times lighter
- have about 2-4 times longer battery life
- have a much higher quality screen
- have easy access to 600 000+ apps
- be far more snappy and fluid on JB than your laptop could hope to be on windows

Oh and there's that thing called the touch operation
