Are you guys worried that they are going to release the surface 2 earlier than planned?
I was initially, but honestly I don't see a Surface 2 until late 2013. Now you can wait til then, but if you do that, then whats going to stop you from wanting the Surface 3 which might come mid-late 2014?
Trying to keep up with the latest gadgets in the tech world is a volatile thing, there will always be newer and better each year. Just knowing that MS has publicly stated support for the Surface til 2016 is huge. And with constant updates which WILL make things smoother, faster and less "buggy" if you will is so valuable.
The app store will continue to gain traction fast, the HW will get optimized as well as the OS until they can get it near perfect..
Look at the iPad 1, its not even 3 years old and its obsolete. The whole "doesn't feel right" or "too cumbersome" thing is odd to me.
ppl get comfortable with things (ie. iPad), like old sneakers or that favorite shirt or your car.. when you try on new shoes, or a new shirt or get a new car of course it will take time to adjust to, but those new things will soon become your new favorites.
The saying is "in with the new (Surface) and out with the old (iPad)".
