Microsoft’s Surface and Apple’s iPad compared

Yesterday evening Microsoft unveiled a new line of tablets called Microsoft Surface, the flagship devices for Windows 8.

The new Microsoft Surface will feature a 10.6-inch wide display with Gorilla Glass, its own stand, a full-size USB port, dual Wi-Fi antennae, a multitouch keyboard, a trackpad — and is only about a half-inch thick.

While pricing and date of availability are not yet know, many consider Surface a worth iPad competitor.

Venture Beat has created the graphic below comparing Surface to the iPad.

What do you think of Microsoft’s Surface?

If I had to choose between an apple iPad and this MS Surface… I’d go with the one with apps I can use and an ecosystem that just works.
