How does Microsoft plan to keep their hype about these vaporware tablet products at such a fever pitch for the 3 months it takes for one to appear, such that people are still interested and not burned out or bored.

I mean, I really think it's a great design and hope it does well. But geez, I wish the fanbois would give it a rest until the thing is REAL.

You can only scream "OMG! WOW! OMG! THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING! OMG! OMG! WOW!" for so long before people start walking away....

Just sayin'...

Agreed, but there's just as many articles out there trashing it on no more evidence.

Apple did that with the original iPhone, which was announced in January 2007, and wasn't released till June 29, 2007. Didn't do them any harm did it?
