otoh ...

1: I don't want a closed source OS on my tablet
2: I don't want my tablet to be a full participant in my network
3: In a tablet, touch is enough for me.
4. I've no desire to create content on my tablet.
5: $20 for a 3P kickstand is a small price to pay for avoiding closed 
source OS
6. I don't want to carry a pen.
7: For what I want to do with a tablet, 7" is about right.
8. I'd like 64GB or even 128GB of microSD space but 32GB is more than I 
can actually use
9: Case colour choice isn't interesting
10 Closed source + Microsoft's bug history = nightmare
