I think there are several unanswered relevant questions:
1. Is it priced competitively (base model between $400 and $600)?
2. Does the software fit the form factor (unlike current Android tablets)?
3. Is its hardware up to the task (not in terms of specs but in terms of “snappiness”) and does it have competitive battery life?
4. Will it be available immediately or very soon?
Some of those questions will be answered today, others only later in reviews.
So after the event it seems it's now
1. We don't know yet
2. Yes, it looks really nice on a tablet size device
3. According to the demo it is (although an independent review would be better)
4. "This summer", or "No, it won't".
4 is the real bummer for me. Again the Pre-alike "We got something cool, _wait for it_" attitude..
