Looks like Surface is going on sale soon at Future Shop and Best Buy in Canada. The websites have it listed, but it is not available for sale.

And now the listing has been pulled. Oh well.

A lot of people (like myself) were curious to try them but they couldn't go beyond the Login screen.
WTH
And then they say that these things aren't selling well.. lol
I noticed a display as well at Bestbuy in the Eaton centre. They had those security blocks stuck on the back, mounted on short poles, but I think you were able to pick them up and open the kickstands. There was actually a large group of people playing with them, mostly ignoring the rest of the tablets on display.Quote:

That being said, the Surface display is the first thing you seen when you approach this area, and it was stocked with touch and type covers (ended up picking up a touch cover with a few recent gift cards).
