To all Surface haters that reference air play, air play is terrible especially when trying to stream movies or videos from your iphone. And to the guy that referenced Steve jobs not envisioning the tablet using keyboards and what not, they why do they make all of that stuff for the iPad... Also if you have an iPhone, why would you buy an iPad. Stop hating

Don't buy an iphone and ipad together? Dude, we don't want Phablets because phones are not tablets and we all love our small screen for a phone, so what!

FYI I love airplay, I have no problems with it!

Has Microsoft made their App Store bigger yet?

Why they are keep attacking the apad? I think Microsoft is jealous because it used to be the number 1 and now it's down

Maybe I have one cable that can do both except airplay onto anything than standing right next to anything to connect it by cable! Nice try Microsoft.

You know why they call windows 8.1 windows blue right? Because it's full of blue screen crashed! The surface is no exception! I'm down to only 1 windows laptop and I can't wait to replace it with a macbook just like I replaced my PC with a imac. For me Microsoft and all the beta software they pass off as final products are dead.

I feel the same way, I once kind of liked pc's but now I am so waiting for macbooks! I got a virus after owning one in a few months!

There is people that cannot see innovation rolling out, they get really frustrated. Wow, incredible what a Surface could do to people. Go Microsoft. And by the way I use my own name. See that's how real Microsoft people are.
