During today's big reveal, it went as expected with Microsoft blowing the lid off of their new tablet offering. Called "Microsoft Surface" the tablet is being offered up in two flavors, both at 10.6 inches for the display.
Surface for Windows Rt & Surface for Windows 8 Pro
The Windows 8 Pro version is said to come with "Full HD" display and cleartype. If priced right, and Microsoft doesn't screw this up, it could be the first viable competitor for the iPad in quite some time.
