I like the concept of the Surface, but 128 is not enough, even with the 64 flash card.....if the 256 ever comes out in the USA, I'll buy 2 right away! One for myself and one for my wife!

[bubleeshaark]

no way!!!!!! Are they releasing it in USA too?

That's the point you ask the USA division and they say they've never heard of a 256gb version.
