The iPad 2 is a previous generation tablet, so it's not really a fair comparison.

A fair comparison or not, its the comparison people will make.

The Nexus 7 is only $199, and it has all the Google Play apps.
Surface RT is overpriced.
I was looking at US websites to see prices for Android tablets and I see that tablets that have been out for a while are still $499. I don't see how people can say the Surface RT is overpriced.
The Surface RT can only get apps from the Microsoft store, which is minuscule, compared to Google Play.
The Surface Pro would not be overpriced even around $1000, since it will run desktop software and won't need any "app stores".
I would have pre-ordered the Surface RT if it was less than $350. I thought it was more focused at students and thought it would be cheaper.
Sorry Microsoft, I am not going to buy the Surface RT.
I hope Nokia will come up with some better pricing with their rumoured tablets.
Ya, disappointed by the price
going to wait for gen 2 or wait for the price drop for black friday to fight the ipad mini.
btw, people saying it costs 100 dollars less then the ipad....there is a reason why every commercial is promoting the touch cover and the slogan "click-in" is being used....microsoft's marketing campaign is promoting the $599 bundle, not $499 one.
I thought Surface RT was more focused at students. It is out of my reach now. I thought it would be $349.99.
Oh well.... I will wait for a sale to buy the tablet or wait for a rumoured Nokia tablet.
According to my knowledge, Windows RT does not support any other apps (software) which are not on the "Marketplace". Therefore, it cannot be compared to a fully functional laptop.Even for students, $500-$600 is not a bad price for a computer. That is the price range most of the students at my University had, and it was a state school, and not even one of the premier state schools in my state.

That is just my opinion. Correct me if I am wrong.
