Thought they might have had the opportunity to seriously compete with the ipad

I think your bias might be getting in the way there. The thing is if they want to do better the iPad it has to be superior in some way and being cheap is the only way the RT version can be better.

So having things like USB ports and pretty much any connector you need verses just one isn't superior in some way?
