Great Review. Very neutral. Couple of things: They are reviewing a surface with a keyboard and an iPad without. Also thats an iPad3 not the latest. Like I said before I think Microsoft is going to sell a lot of Surface...s, awkward name. Mostly to windows geeks who now have a decent choice. I would say the majority of sales they steal are going to be at the expense of the Android ecosystem. In fact I think the Nokia Microsoft phones are also going to steal a lot of thunder. For Apple people - I think they will stay with the iPad mostly. Big ecosystem. The iPad has its own advantages. Surface PROs keyboard - very nice - I think Apple will respond compatible phone available usb memory cards ANTI windows - viruses - currently weak OS is half assed - my guess is they'll bone customers on the upgrade its microsoft - poor support likely iPad PROs ecology - virus free - iOS robust better chips and screens compatible phones ANTI usb memory cards keyboard not integrated I think the surface is a great first product from Microsoft. Maybe Ballmer is not so bad after all. Maybe he learned his lesson. Now if they could only do something with the tech underlying windows. Hopefully this will spur apple on to even better products. The surface certainly resembles the Mac Air at cheaper price, although woefully underpowered and half assed but I don't think that will matter particularly as low power chips advance. And the keyboard is great.
