I don't know, I knew many people who wanted such a device, I was just hoping someone other than Apple would make one too. It was obvious for years that tablet had potential but for some weird reason, no one saw how crappy windows was on a tablet. At least none of the manufacturers noticed it. I got a macbook tablet mod for one of my bosses in the past. It was unusable considering OSX wasn't built for touchscreens (exactly like Windows tablet).

Android has been out for years now. They could have seen the tide coming and released a tablet running it way before apple. But they didn't. They just seem to want to leech of apple's market research.
