Note that there's no 16Gb Surface, not even for the 'consumer' Arm version.

So the Surface ARM tablet is 32 G model with USB and SD card support for around 599 and up?
Well, CyGuy and people who think like that will go for that - because for them, removeable storage is # 1- but a LOT of folks are going to look at that price, compare it to the 499 16G ipad3 or the 399 ipd 2 -and run, not walk, to the ipad.

In favor of the Surface, according to the Verge, Microsoft is really going flat out to get developers to develop for Win 8 .
