I want it too, and it is gorgeous.

Yeah, I guess it could be. I guess I didn't think that they would be running EN_GB on the tablet considering it's going to be on T-Mobile in the US.

I hope that he's running EN_GB there... because if it's just EN... there's hell to pay.

Yes, it is European (British) English, as evidenced by the keyboard layout, "English, Nederlands," and the use of "s" instead of "z" in "capitalisation"

They better not release it like that here.

That's the way it's spelled in English....

"Here" being Canada? Well, we have a bastardi[sz]ed English here, a real mix up between British and American spellings.

My poor three-year-old is so confused about how to pronounce the last letter of the Alphabet. "zee" or "zed"?

I usually make both EN_GB and EN_US available on my devices if I have the chance...

I'm starting to think it's about time to split up the English language ...

English
American
Australian

Not sure if Canadian needs to be different... but I think that'd stir up a bigger problem (the whole English vs French thing).

But... really, an "s" in capitalization!? What are they thinking!? You'd think they originated the language or something...

"Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead."

Actually, the tablet should just call it "Finnglish".
