microsoft surface has shipped, and i was one of the lucky people to get one of the very first units. we are going to see many new tablets released this fall including the ipad mini, which i have on order ($634.99), as well as the new ipad4 and replacements for the google nexus7 and samsung galaxy tab 2 that i own, like and use. the\u00a0tablet operating systems, usability and applications improve daily. i am the most productive on a tablet with a keyboard, but that may not be true for you. my skin type requires touching a screen multiple\u00a0times for the touch to be recognized. for example,\u00a0it is normal right now that i have to touch my iphone 5 2-5 times for each character i type. this past friday, i counted 17 touches to type a single letter. interestingly, though, is that the microsoft surface has not required me to\u00a0touch the screen multiple times. i\u2019m not sure if there is a technology difference that makes this touch actually work, or if it is something else, but it is fun to have a correctly working touch surface!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

it is helpful for you to know that i have used every apple ipad and every apple iphone since release. i \u201cget\u201d how apple\u2019s technology is supposed to work.<\/p>\n

for business purposes, the microsoft surface may be a better product.
\nbut should you wait?<\/strong><\/p>\n
