Microsoft Surface is an upcoming series of tablets designed and marketed by Microsoft. It was announced by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at a Los Angeles event on June 18, 2012, at Milk Studios.The Surface will be available in two versions, "Surface" and "Surface Pro". The "Surface" model will run the Windows RT operating system and use an ARM CPU. The "Surface Pro" model will run the Windows 8 Pro operating system and use an Intel CPU.The display is a 10.6 inches (27 cm), 16:9 widescreen HD Display (Surface), or Full HD Display (Surface Pro).
The perceived success or failure of what was shown is obviously subjective, and comes down to whether or not you believe in what Microsoft is showing. Moreover, can Microsoft's strategy with the Surface -- and all Windows 8 tablets, for that matter -- succeed in not just being a No. 2 to the iPad, but in being a true iPad rival?
Difference ipod-microsoft surface:
Apple's iPads run iOS while MacBooks run OS X, and the two approach each other without meeting or sharing apps. The disadvantage is that an iPad can't be a true Mac replacement. Windows 8 tablets are full-fledged computers capable of running both tablet apps and full computer applications. It remains to be seen whether Microsoft is ahead of the game or muddying the waters. Meanwhile, the Surface RT only runs apps, like the iPad.
its release date is in mid of January 2013
Microsoft has not confirmed a price for the Surface tablet, but rumors have circulated that the device will cost about $199. If the purported price of the Surface tablet is correct, it will be the cheapest full-sized tablet to be released this fall
the iPods support the keyboards via Bluetooth..they can't be directly connected..
where the surface comes with that facility.the surface can be used as tablet and laptop as well..hope Microsoft surface is going to come up more with their own hardware like surface
