Meh, every time they delay, the more opaque they are about price and availability and future product lineup (Surface 3, non-pro edition), the more likely I am to buy another tablet - possibly not a Windows one, however much I like them.

At the moment, I want a second tablet for September. The primary function of my second tablet is going to be for having documents up for citations while I'm working on my first tablet - a two monitor setup for on the go, much like I have in my home setup. While I love Windows tablets and the Surface line in general for a variety of reasons, since I'm currently under the impression none of these things will be under $350'ish, I may well opt for just picking up some $100 8 inch Android tablet and make do with it and keep a bit of money in my pocket. Tell us what the heck you are releasing in non-pro tablets already, and when - otherwise, you may well find some of us just moving on. Right now, $450 for a Surface 2 isn't worth it to me, and I want something with more horsepower than my current Surface RT if I'm going to spend $350+. The new kickstand and a digitizer make it worth it - but I don't know if such a product will even exist outside of the Pro model.

Always dropping the ball ms -_-

Really Home? Generally the Surface line has been excellent to actually use. Even if they're dropping the ball in the release schedule, I'd hardly call it "always" when the complaint is they aren't telling us when they're releasing the next installation in a very solid hardware line.

I have never seen the need for the Surface RT, if I want a consumer content toy I will have an Android tablet and I do. The Lenovo S6000 does me a treat, from being an in-car cinema for the kids, remote access tool on teamviewer for my file server, casual games, facebook, etc. However, I still want a Surface Pro 3, with that I can really get proper work done. If playing with it doesn't seem too arduous i will dump the android tablet and give it to the kids because it can already do everything that it can do.

from what i heard so far the device is ready hardware wise. they just keep delaying the launch. but if they really launching the device next year doesn't that make the hardware inside is out dated by that time?
