Good idea, bluestacks might work well. Now that the Surface and the other Windows tablets are out, I hope that Garmin and ForeFlight will make apps for them. Good luck with your search for a cigarette lighter charger.

Sorry I don't have an answer for your question. I have a question for your question, though. Isn't Garmin Pilot limited to iOS and Android?

I passed on the RT because I was "waiting" on the Pro. Note that the wait was for something specific. By contrast, if you are "waiting" for something that may or may not happen, it is more appropriately labeled "stalling."

I really liked my Palm Treo until my dog chewed it into submission.

I have used Sports Tracker and am pleased with it. I haven't tried Endomondo or Runtastic yet so I don't have anything to compare it against.

I thought they said the battery life was approximately half of the Surface RT.

Can you all clarify why tethering uses more data? Is it because they double calculate for both the phone and the tablet's usage? I'm thinking of getting a Surface Pro and tethering to my L920, but I only have a 2 GB plan. Would it be better to get a second line with my old WP7 on mobile share...

I guess I didn't explain it well. They said you can remove the type cover, flip it, reinsert it so the keys are facing downward, and then fold it back behind the Surface so that you are holding the smooth side instead of the keys. I hope that makes more sense.

The manager I talked to at Staples told me that the stores were only stocking the 64GB and that the only way to get the 128GB was to order it online.

This reminds me of the movie Coming to America: "What kind of music do you like?" "Whatever kind of music it is that you like."

Someone in another thread mentioned the magnets work when you flip the keyboard, so that the bottom of the type cover faces down on your lap when you flip it behind in tablet mode.

I call it cycling. Most people these days call it doping.

If you are making this comparison based only on the shape resemblance of the respective devices, it fails on many different levels. Would you compare a pen to a stylus just because they look the same?
