 Hey, this is Josh from The Verge, and we are backstage after Microsoft's LA event, their very secretive event where they announced the Surface, which is not a huge table but a tablet, actually a family of tablets, an Intel version and an ARM version that will run Windows RT. And we've had a chance to play around with them. We've had a chance to talk to people here. It's an interesting product from Microsoft. We talked to Steve Ballmer, the CEO, and he kind of made it sound like he wasn't, they weren't just getting into this to trump the competition or to compete with their partners, which they're actually doing now. They kind of wanted to spark a little excitement maybe or light the fire under their partners to say, hey, you've got to do something really special and really unique for Windows 8. It's a crowded market. They are brand new at doing a tablet, so it'll be interesting to see how that goes. But they definitely didn't make it seem like they wanted to sell the most, but they wanted to do something that was special that fit with the release of Windows 8. They wouldn't talk about price. They wouldn't talk about release date. They said they're going to be competitive. We're hearing probably around the holiday season for the RT version, which makes sense because that's when Windows 8 is supposed to be out. And all in all, I think it's actually a pretty interesting product. I mean, it does a lot of stuff that the iPad doesn't do. It does a lot of stuff that Android tablets don't do. And most importantly for me, it actually is somewhat nice looking and has colorful accessories, which almost nobody seems to want to do. They've got these cool new keyboards. One is a tactile keyboard. One is a pressure-sensitive touch keyboard. They snap on like the smart cover for the iPad, and they're actually really attractive. And according to everybody here, they work really well. So we haven't really used one day-to-day, obviously, yet, but we will do that soon. And as soon as we do, you guys will be the first to know.
