Lets just save everyone some time and point out that the surface is a computer. Not a tablet unlike the tabletI saw the other forum discussion about a similar topic (though not as broad) about something the Surface does that the iPad cannot. I'm curious, but.. what functionalities can the Surface do that the iPad can truly not do at all? I'm not talking about doing something better or worse, just simply not an option for the iPad by any means.
I know side-by-side app viewing is a nonexistent functionality, but are there answers the iPad has for other things, even if it isn't as efficient as the Surface?
Flash?
Network drive support?
iPad is COOL! Girls love iPad while old guys buy Surface tablets and brag.
Yucks!
Hahaha sweet. actually if any one over 60 ask me which tablet or phone to buy I always point them to apple products. There nice and simple for senior citizens. I plug my S2 into a printer and printed something off in about 20 seconds. thank god.
:grin:
THIS is an acceptable response you win a fake imaginary ribbonMS got me to buy one. Apple didn't...

Wow, I didn't expect this many responses already.
The reason I asked is because I wanted to see the capability gaps are that usually hush-hush in reviews, iPad user communities, etc. We don't hear a lot about iPad limitations from editors, and my obvious suspicion is because most are accustomed to viewing tablets through a single lens which fits the iPad's consumption model but ignores other tablet consumption models out there... like the Surface.
In reading a lot of these responses (which is helpful as I have never owned an iPad but have owned other iOS devices), it's clear that there are a ton of things that, current state, iPad could not do either well or at all because of an innate limitations. Though it seems that the Surface actually has the potential to do everything the iPad does plus more given that the missing apps were made available.
It seems pretty clear that critics are harsher on the Surface due to a limited app selection than they are about the iPad which has limitations that can never be fixed by apps.
at least until I finally buy one ZINGThe Surface can't be owned by pretentious pricks
Am I the only one who thinks he was just being funny/sarcastic?I'm sorry but how is that a logical conclusion to come to based on the evidence in the previous posts and what you have seen in the real world - have you seen any old guys buying surface tablets to brag, and have you seen any girls that express their love towards iPads
Bearing in mind that a lot of girls are iSheep so that statement may hold some weight, but still, last time i checked girls didn't judge guys on their tablet lol.
Please could you come up with some proof to backup your argument before coming on here and blurting out stuff
yupAm I the only one who thinks he was just being funny/sarcastic?
No. I also thought he was just joking (or possibly trolling)...Am I the only one who thinks he was just being funny/sarcastic?
