There's that womanly touch again. ..."It's not an important feature, that's why so many are available as after-thoughts for the ipad"
I bought a cover for my nook (pre-iPad) - with a 'kickstand' because I thought I would like it - it was awful, I dumped it quickly - an option not available with the new surface, you will be stuck with the kickstand - like it or not. And when it breaks (look at it - it is going to break - wow - right away), or if you want to get a real cover for your surface - it is going to cover up the kickstand - making it unusable anyway. Microsoft tries to be all things to all people - they just don't get it.

Yeah, it's amazing that Apple offers all those barnacles for their glorious ipad. ...stoopid people just don't understand the genius of the limited ipad.
Less is more-believe me. I don't want all that stuff - many people don't - so don't give it to me. I don't want the weight, the cost, the 'whoops, I guess I never used that' scenario.

So - you don't forget - it feels like Zune all over - too much, yet, in reality, too little, and way too late. Plus, a marketing department that fails all the time....

edit - out of curiosity have you run a Transformer Prime? I liked the one that was lent to me for a couple of weeks - seemed like a good machine.
