The only things going for the developer preview right now are the keyboard and the boot time.

So improving the battery life from 5 hours to 6 hours translates to a 300% increase? Where can I learn this new math?

Even though the $699 is a lot less than some of the absurd $$$$ prices of other Windows 7 tablets, still, WTF? Why are they so much more expensive than Android tablets? The price of Windows alone over Honeycomb doesn’t justify the markup. Is Intel intentionally trying to lose the tablet processor game?
