@Amicksha, certainly Apple would sell a ocean-going shipload of tablets if they put the iPad Mini on a similar $99 / $199 firesale deal. I certainly wouldn't expect that to happen this year, though, as they are holding around...

Ultimately I think one of the biggest problems windows 8 has with it's interface is that it looks and works less like Windows we all knew and loved than Android or even iOS. Neither Google nor Apple strayed so far from...
