Also worth mentioning that it has an SD slot. I personally got the 32gb with a cyan cover and plan on buying a 32gb sd card to add on to it.

  Do you know what software development tools will be available via Microsoft's App Store? Ruby, Python, etc.? Emacs? Thanks!

    Do you REALLY want to program on a tablet? How would you use those IDEs (because that's what you're really asking for) to sync with version control software/servers?

      I use a MacBook Air because I like to work and write often while travelling. The thing I miss in the MBA is a touch screen. The Surface seems like it might fit my needs in the future, especially since I am not in the mood to buy more Apple gear given their behavior recently that I don't like. Ironic to me that I am viewing Apple in a more negative way than Microsoft. In any case I don't need any more writing development gear right now so I can wait several months and see how well the new Surface platform is viewed when I need to buy.

      >How would you use those IDEs (because that's what you're really asking for) to sync with version control software/servers? Is this a trick question? Why can't you do it the same way as a desktop OS: have a separate tool or integrated in the IDE.

    No idea. If I wanted to program on this I'd wait for the pro. Though I suppose you could remote into a desktop from WinRT devices? Lol..
