You like the choice of the Microsoft's keyboard cover? Great! I think it beats the hell out of a $10 USB portable membrane, or full PC keyboard too! Still, I'm glad to have that USB port (expandable, of course, into 8 ports with a $4 commodity USB hub) that comes with my $499 Surface. But I'm also glad you agree the choice of spending money on the Microsoft keyboard was a good one.

So, to answer your question:

Yes, for the first group of 30 full length HD movies you want to take with you on the road, I am afraid you would need to spend $60 for a 64GB microSD card to store those movies on in your Surface. I'm afraid if you wanted to take another 30 full length HD movies, you'd have to spend another $60.

When you got done watching the first 30 full length HD movies, and then wanted to watch the second set, you would need to pull out the first microSD card, and insert the second. Am I clear here?

Great alternative to being shit out of luck, as with the iPad, don't you think, Cogito?

What do you do, for "adequate storage", Cogito? By they way, how much memory does your iPad have, soldered onto its motherboard? Serious question. How much memory does your iPad have, and how much of that memory are you using?
