At that price I really have serious doubts. The only really successful non-iPad tablets have been those that significantly undercut Apple. Sure this offers twice the memory for $499, but I don't think that's going to make much of a difference. Especially since the screen is lower resolution and, this being Windows RT rather than Windows 8 proper, there will be almost no ecosystem at launch.
