This Buzz about Microsoft Surface Taking On Ipad…What do you think..By Akinniyi Daniels

Since I uploaded the post on Microsoft Surface Tab yesterday, I have been battling with myself…Can any Tab be better than the ipad? And I have been thinking, Maybe, Just Maybe, this might just be it..

Looking at the Nigerian Co-operate Society, Microsoft plays a very important role…Although the “techy” guys and the large gadget loving community have been really into Apple Products, we can’t take it away from Microsoft..Our Cooperate world revolves around Microsoft Product..

Now, Looking at Doug Gross’s article on CNN’s website today (5 ways Microsoft’s Surface may be better than an iPad)..I’m beginning to get more convinced about this Surface Tablet..For the first time, I’m thinking the office PC is really going to be mobile..

What’s your opinion on this?

Is this the ‘iPad killer’ at last? Microsoft unveils new Surface tablet designed to work with Windows 8

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has an uphill battle on his hands.He needs to break into the tablet market, taking on both the iconic market-leader, the iPad, as well as as an ever-burgeoning range of svelte Android tablets.However, after Microsoft’s repeated attempts over 30 years to break into the tablet market, it now seems the software giant has the right tools to make it right.

The Microsoft Surface tablet was officially unveiled in Los Angeles last night, and from the favourable first impressions, it looks like we have a three-way race in the tablet market.The Surface comes with a 10.6″ screen, a clever magnetic cover which doubles as a keyboard, and a kickstand to hold it upright on a table.

Surface comes with a number of features which make it more similar to a laptop than a tablet – most notably, a built-in keyboard which could help the device appeal more to business customers.And the fact that Microsoft is using the same Windows 8 operating system for the Surface as for laptop and desktop computers could mean that customers will find it easier to switch between different devices.

 CEO Steve Ballmer was on hand at a press conference in Los Angeles to announce the tablet, calling it part of a ‘whole new family of devices’ the company is developing.The 9.3mm-thick tablet, which uses the RT version of Windows, comes with a kickstand to hold it upright and keyboard that is part of the device’s cover. It weighs under 1.5 pounds.In a possible nod to the device’s chief rival, it will apparently be 0.1mm thinner than the latest iPad.
