It's funny that they did a whole presentation like this without mentioning the price, aside from saying it'll be priced "like comparable tablets based on ARM," which doesn't mean much on the face of it. Just recently there was a lot of talk about how Windows 8 is too expensive for tablets running it to be priced in a range to compete with the iPad. One would think that, since Microsoft is making it in-house, it might be cheap enough to compete with the iPad; but of course we won't know until we know.

Will we get a price today, or are they holding that back?

Maybe, just because it was "too expensive for tablets running it to be priced in a range to compete with the iPad", they put their own hardware (without charging themselves the OS license) at the same price of an iPad or Android tablet. That way, they would make the entire ecosystem bigger.
