Ah, but you are wrong. Unlike the ipad, the Surface will run as a full computer.
Remember, even with those other tablets out there from Amazon, Google, Kindle, they have not been able to compete with Apple. Een though Apple controls over 60% of the market share, Microsoft intends to take a huge bite out Apple's share (no pun intended).

Nice tablet for sure.
I will definitely not be getting one. I've grown very tired of the entire tablet/smart phone market. Every time i see commercials for these devices i cannot help but think how people are getting screwed over with their payment plans and everything else.
I've been out of the cell phone game for a while now... my last phone was an HTC from about 4 years ago which has been out of service for 3 years... I use it as an MP3 player.
I will make an assumption here, i believe that Mac and all those companies probably have 2-3 upgraded generations of their products already packaged and ready to go in the warehouse. They put out a 'new' model every year and force people to think they 'need' this new device through brainwashing advertisements, which are mostly targeted at young teens.

I have never been a apple fan. Not sure if it is because apple freaks are so snooty and try to make you feel inferior for not having one of their overly proprietary products that force you to settle for less software titles at a higher price. Or it it just because they are so damn expensive and I see no point in paying way more money for something that I should have to. But with that said, I can buy a brand new laptop for around $400 or so and have twice the power, 50 times the space and I get a full keyboard with it. So why would I want a over grown phone that cant make phone calls? This tablet trend cracks me up.
