You know that hardware is months from completion right? You can chalk that up to unfinished drivers/firmware. To say a product is shitty because of a demo mishap is just idiotic.

Toshiba is not going to release this device. Good riddance...their support sucks anyways.

even snail-slow Necrosoft C# will be faster than Java. I did exactly the same over 8 years ago on arm6 with no HW acceleration whatsoever.

failing a presentation where you can present only what you want and failing on that migre subset should be a hint anyway.. when it will come out it will be no better..

The get the ASUS Tablet 810. It will have full windows 8 with an Intel Atom Clover Trail CPU. It will probably be slightly more than a tablet in the $700 range.

indeed it crashes.. see surface failing at the presentation and you get an idea..

4470 uses the new powersgx 544. Its a new chip.

Cant wait to get a windows tablet. My galaxy tab 7.7 lags just trying to play this fucking video. Dear google: go fuck yourselves

Also, the higher cost has more to do with Windows 8/RT licensing from MS than just the device itself...
