You said this about the last round too, and they didn't sell.

The perception is they aren't as good as iPads or Android tablets. Until that changes, and I don't see it happening, they will continue to not sell the new version.

Microsoft still hasn't learned that in the Post PC era, you don't get to release v 1.1 to fix the ills.

I'm not sure they would sell well at the lower iPad prices.
Plus, it is very possible the iPad 5, due next month, will have a 64-bit processor, and cost what current ones do....

Yes, I would prefer to run standard Windows apps, but at what price$?
- bigger
- heavier
- shorter battery life (?)
- more expensive
- Windows 8 interface! :down
