Surface vs. iPad: Microsoft’s Getting Rusty Stealing from Apple
Just days after Microsoft launched their new Surface tablet at a press event in Hollywood, Eliot Weisberg of SAY Media in San Fransico had created this video mash-up.
Yes, the late Steve Jobs could certainly launch Apple products with a relaxed and polished style, but it always helps if the product you are launching actually works.
Unfortunately Steven Sinofsky had merely woken his Surface up when it had crashed during the Microsoft launch. Having the majority of press complaining about the lack of ‘hands on’ time (especially from a company known for its software) is not great news for Surface either. But what is apparent though, is that tablets will become a vital product in a computer manufacturer’s line up.
Once seen as a gimmick, tablets are becoming more commonplace all the time. Whilst not the most powerful computing gadgets, they are certainly very convenient and could quite easily become the preferred, primary device for millions of people around the world.
