    What think ye ?

    I finally left Windows last year, having been a user since the HTC Touch, and went to iOS, but this has me very interested. Spec-wise, it looks to be the dog's bits and with Windows 10 maybe coming to RTM-like status, it might be a goer.

    Looks impressive but...
    Designed by HP to enable a new level of business mobility, HP Workspace lets you run your most frequently-used Windows and corporate applications virtually.7

    And note #7 says...
    HP Workspace software update for Windows 10 required and planned in a future release. Subscription required. Corporate application must be licensed on corporate network for virtualization.

    So if I read that right it's not much better than a 950 in that you're limited to Store apps rather than full x86 support? Plus, not only that but you need a subscription and network licensing/configuration to run anything beyond that?

    In effect then it's the Surface RT of phones?
