I have an iPad air...should I sell it for the nokia Lumia 2520?

In that case i believe there is a Skydrive app for Mac. Have your photo's upload to skydrive from the phone, then do the same with skydrive that you did with dropbox.

 

[Zippier]

Yes

I've been very impressed with rt so don't put to much, or any, weight to the RT sucks crowd. I can't see much difference between my office computer and my tablet. I was expecting some serious issues with function or accessing Content. Nothing. A bunch of dorks trying to be the smartest guy in the room. Give it a try, I bet you'll like it.

It is up to you and the applications you'd like to use. You gotta check if all the apps you use in the iPad Air are in the Windows Store.

I can assure you that your productivity tools will be better than the iPad Air since it comes with Microsoft Office preloaded and way better multitasking features.

I tried to get the Dell Venue Pro 8 for $99.00 before they sold out. No luck. I purchased a 2520 from at&t (being shipped)and I thought I had salvaged my day, only to find out later you presently can't purchase a keyboard cover. As soon as it arrives I'm returning it for an iPad mini. It just seems like Apple just gets it right. How the hell do you promote a product and release it without one of the main items and have no availability date for the essential item?

Nokia's main market is in the EU and in the US is limited to mainly AT&T so things are a bit more limited. Nokia was including the keyboards with the tablet on launch as well as AT&T offering it for 199 when you buy a Windows Phone.

The 2520 is a much more beautiful tablet and has a more powerful OS. If you were going to switch brands I would go to the Surface 2 since it comes with a keyboard, and you can buy at bestbuy and take back with no questions asked. Also you should of picked up the Venue for 199.00 which would still be a good deal. MS is selling those at a loss to promote 8 inch Windows 8.1 tablets. Personally I am holding out for a more high end 8 inch 8.1 tablet.

I wouldn't get rid of it. Nothing wrong with owning both. Teach your OCD some manners.

I don't understand why Nokia limited its products so damn much. I hope Microsoft fixes this when they take over. How do you get the Nokia flip case for the 1520? I can't find where to order it.

I picked my case up at the store when I bought the phone.

The Venue Pro was a target of opportunity. The 2520 was also to a extant, no deposit on at&t. The surface 2 was definitely my top choice.

Yes

I am currently debating a similar decision. Surface 2 or iPad Air. I like the productivity aspects of the Surface 2, but the iPad is to the tablet what Windows is to the Desktop, IMHO.

 

[rakesh1995]

Nope iPad air is better. Alteast sell it for a windows 8 tablet

I don't understand why people are so anti-RT. Why do you want to install desktop apps on a consumption device? I prefer RT on my tablets.

And I can't stand Apple or it's products, so no need for me to comment on that one.

If you wante the Venue Pro why not get it instead of the Mini? It is still on sale for $199, cheaper than the Mini.

I go Microsoft for my ecosystem (always), and all my devices (currently) because they're the ONLY company that supports all three platforms.

I can get office, skydrive, bing and outlook on iOS7, Android, or WP8 no problem.

Google only supports iOS and Android

Apple only supports Apple

Until Microsoft support Linux, I can't use their services as one of my computers runs Linux. I will have to stick with Dropbox and Google. Nice one Steve!

people are anti rt. Because at the price of rt you can get a windows 8 which is far more better.

Why people will pay?

I can use the ecosystem on any platform I choose. I can't do that with either Google or Apple.

I see now.

it's a preference for Microsoft's ecosystem of office, sky drive, etc. more than an application store full of alternatives.

cool

Does the web client for Skydrive work?

Things could be supported a little better in Linux if the developers there didn't have such an anti Microsoft agenda. They are trying to keep the dreams of the 1990's alive.

I expect so. I didn't come across a website that doesn't work on Linux for a decade. But given that Dropbox and Ubuntu One have proper clients for Linux, why would I use SkyDrive?

What stops Microsoft making SkyDrive for Linux? Skype is available so they can't have any problem in principle with supporting Linux, and as Dropbox is available and works well, I don't see any technical problems.
Of course, it's Microsoft's choice whether to put time and effort into this, in the same way that Google don't support all their services on WP. And as a customer, this may influence whether I can (or choose to) use their services.
