This is a common problem with Microsoft. They announce products well before they are available for purchase and end up disappointing everybody (including themselves). One of the Zunes (maybe ZuneHD? maybe the 1st one), was announced at a specific price and they made it clear this was X dollars cheaper than an iPod. Problem is, it wasn't shipping for another year..guess what Apple did? They are in a hard position though (of their own doing)....they are far behind [the tablet market], so they need to do something. Unfortunately, all they can do is show something that'll be available later on.
