The drivers issue is more likely, IMO. Toshiba has released good devices so far, no reason to spoil that record with a half baked release. Esp. given that Win8 will be the only enterprise-capable platform when it launches to the masses, can't offer unfinished products to customers.
That being said, this doesn't mean they don't get to manufacture their RT-based hardware ever; it's only a delay.
To trolls like getreal: this is not about Apple, nor is it about Android. Get real about it, you guys must really have a pathetic little sad life if you let your misconceptions become obsessions. There are specialized institutions where they treat people like you. Maybe some ECT would help in your case, who knows. A piece of advice (after this I'm done with trolls): stop acting like someone just spat in your soup bowl, or like some bully took your lunch money. If you can't really understand that it means you are just a spoiled kid who got behind some keyboard while parents weren't looking, and it's their job, not mine, to try to educate you.
[citation][nom]innocent bystander[/nom]Didn't you just say that Apple needs a real competitor? Why can't you wait for their biggest competitor to go down in flames?I understand you don't like Android, but they are Apple's #1 competition and if nothing else at least it keeps them on their toes.On topic, I just want to see the specs and the release date of the Pro tablet. I have to make a decision between that and a laptop. I already have a custom built desktop at home, now it's time for some mobility.IB[/citation]
From the way it looks, you'll have the opportunity to pick and choose really soon, but the line that separates laptops from a tablet like this is becoming thinner and thinner. You might be able to pick a tablet that has enough power to run whatever a laptop would run (except, of course, desktop replacement laptops, but these are not designed with mobility in mind to begin with).
[citation][nom]ojas[/nom]I think this is good for the Windows RT ecosystem. Business oriented RT tablets will be Lenovo's department, Dell will make the overpriced crap they always make, Asus will make gaming oriented stuff while Samsung will continue to compete with Apple.Microsoft will show them how it's done with Surface. Also, since they're only a few manufacturers, they'll have higher margins which hopefully they'll put into making better products. At the same time, there's no lack of competition.[/citation]
Yes, I just like to see Toshiba joining the roster really soon. My old M750 still runs good, but it's becoming a bit too much to lug around nowadays.
