Readin' from CES, I SO want one of these...

From our perspective that would not be such a bad thing.  The Pippin failed because of the abundance of better systems available at the time.  I really wouldn't care if this thing failed due to being released into a market already saturated with devices of this type, because I'd be too busy playing with whatever I had already bought.

est:
I don't think that will happen, though.  This thing will probably get fast-tracked by someone, and if MS are smart they will push it along.  They are in so much shit at the moment in the tablet space due to Windows 7 not being right for the formfactor at all.  You can see this in the big push toward ARM and Android, as well as the huge jump in price from the three Asus tablets that run Android (each ~$500 USD) up to the one that runs Windows 7(~1k)

MS should know that gamers/enthusiasts will probably pay a premium for this type of device if it means they can play WoW on the train or someshit, and it's got the kind of wow factor that'd allow them to hype it as a top-end system in order to explain the price difference between it & the Android devices.

KharBevNor:
So wait, this is a pocket-sized machine that allows you to play WoW anywhere?

Good gods it's less than two years to December 21st 2012.
