Things seem a bit smoother with the Surface now. There was an IE and flash update as well along with all the office apps. Also the firmware increased the maximum volume level I believe, however it sounds a little distorted now at maximum volume depending on what you're listening to.

How well does the case work with the touch/type covers?

I did a review on the jot pro with the surface RT here: Using a Jot Pro Stylus with Windows RT on a Surface Tablet It works well, not as good as a Wacom but better than the salami stylus you can get.

I haven't had a problem with any of them on the sd card... I have noticed though that the Surface doesn't like reading/writing to the SD card at the same time, so if you're installing apps on to the SD Card it might slow down a little. It seems the biggest bottleneck in the Surface is Solid...

I'm glad you fixed it, I haven't had any problems with it so far... For anyone else interested in installing apps to the SD Card, I put up a video on how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg3PH3f9h-s

I don't think so...

Here is a list of Desktop Apps currently available on the Surface over at XDA: Desktop apps ported to Windows RT - xda-developers I'm not sure if the controller works with Quake, ill try it out.

This is actually a Surface RT, not pro! I put up a video and corresponding links here on how to jailbreak the Surface RT: Windows RT JailBreak Tool Improved to Autorun with Video! | Windows RT App Review

Microsoft doesn't allow desktop applications to run for some arbitrary reason. Apparently it's to differentiate the Pro version with the RT version but to me that just weakens the RT experience unnecessarily. There's really no reason we shouldn't be able to run the full desktop environment if...

Hey guys, if you've got a jailbroken Surface you can play quake 1 and quake 2 on it now! bfosterjr ported them over to WindowsRT. I put up some videos of them running in case you're not willing to jailbreak your Surface. Quake2: Quake 2 on Windows RT - xda-developers Quake1: Quake 1...

You can code in C# now! Apparently Windows RT includes the Microsoft C# compiler, it just won't run by default due to some dependency issues. Check out this thread: [how to] Develop on Windows RT: A C# Scratchpad - xda-developers I made a video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgAeV5P6Og8

If you jailbreak you can run Python on the Surface! I'm sure some developer out there is working on porting gcc as well, at least I hope one is!

You can play two players as well, if you have 2 wireless controllers.

If you have a wireless controller you need to get a USB receiver for it. If you don't have one, you can get a USB Wireless Receiver here. A Wired controller will work fine as is. The USB Battery Cord will NOT work with the Surface since that cable only charges the device and does not actually...

Updated with Xbox controller support! Woooohoooooooooooooooo!
