is frowned upon here, and it was removed: I'll just say ,I Have the Dell Pro Tablet and it has been available to order on line since 10/25/2012...but took Dell until 01/09/2013 to deliver it to my door step....let me say this....why anyone outside of price would settle for an android tablet or Ipad (W8 same cost if not cheaper than Ipad) is beyond logical reasoning...both android and Ipad are a compromise now that I know how well each W8 device works between each other...What ever type of tablet you decide to go with whether it be W8 (RT) limited function or W8 Pro Tablet 32 bit OS ... fully functional as a PC OS...it is definitely several steps up and beyond any android tablet or Ipad.....but again there will be those who will look at you and say : I don't like the Metro UI or the Start button is missing or it is eye candy no back bone to the OS..and you look at them with a smile and say you have a point...while under your breathe you are thinking : you either never tried it, or you hold some sort of prejudice against Microsoft and are full of it. think about these responses logically....: what is about a static UI and both really have not changed much over the years. The two (android and IOS ) are more alike each other than WP8 or W8 OS'S. Their excuses show a shallow thought process and doesn't even merit a response other than,"I see your point"...you can't argue with ignorance...
