Microsoft Surface vs. Apple's iPad

Microsoft's announcement about its Surface tablets left a lot of unanswered questions. One key point that will help determine how the tablet does n the market, has yet to be determined the price. The Surface comes in two flavors: a version that runs Windows RT and a version that runs Windows 8 Pro. That means only the letter will be able to run all your Windows programs, meaning that it is likely, though of certain, to get a higher price tag.

Does Microsoft's now tablet computer, Surface, stand a change against Apple's iPad? Both verious of the tablet oast 10.6 inch screens, bigger than the iPad's 9.7 inch display. The town RT versions are lighter heavier than the 1.4 pound iPad, but still impressively light. A point to Microsoft here: both versions of the Surface come with USB ports (2.0 on the RT version, 3.0 on the Windows 8 Pro model), which also account for the device's thickness. The Microsoft offered a twist: the cover is the keyboard. Users can get the Surface with 32GB or 64GB of memory on RT tablet; or pick up its big brother with 64GB or 128GB. opOverall, that is more memory on offer than the 16GB, 32GB, 64GB options you have with the iPad. Microsoft touted a strong WiFi connection on Surface, but did not mention any cellular connecitivity. The iPad, of course, has a WiFi and cellular option that runs on AT&T on Verizon networks.
