I love my Zune HD. I am totally down with a Zune Tablet. Way to go Microsoft. I hope it's successful.

Kindle Fire filled the market already thanks.
Google/Amazon need to put out a badass new kindle.

Why does MS keep fragmenting their OS like this? Both iOS and Andriod, hell even Blackberry, have one version.

Hahahahahaha

Oh c'mon, don't get your panties in a bunch. That was some masterful trolling.

If its a tablet then I will be pissed. They are going to fail like HP did with the TouchPad.

They handed us cards with "5:20pm" written on them and mysteriously said "This will be clearer later on during the presentation." Very mysterious.

They're going to lock you in a room with a horny Steve Ballmer.

Windows is not anything like iOS or Android

 

[Hugo Drax]

Something smells fishy, I wonder if its a trap.

The thing was supposed to start at 3:30, but you're going to have to wait until 5:20 to get any real information.
