A dozen super-colorful tiles give you a snappy report of what's new: Who's tweeted at you, what's arrived in your inbox, news headlines, photos of your beautiful face, and incoming Facebook IMs, as they drop.
Needs to make his mind up. Does it work or not? The review is littered with contradictions from start to finish.There's no Twitter or Facebook app, and the most popular 3rd party client breaks often. The Kindle app is completely unusable. There's no image editing software. A People app is supposed to give you all the social media access you'd ever need, but It's impossible to write on someone's Facebook wall through the People app, Surface's social hub; the only workaround is to load Internet Explorer.
I love the keyboard but I hate the keyboard. The OS is wonderful to use but the OS is terrible to use. The brand new app store hasn't got anywhere near as many apps as the 5 year old iOS app store. It's like saying a new born baby can't talk like a 5 year old can; no shit!
As opposed to the wonderful iOS solution for playing a video from an external camera where you have to convert the file (which you can't do via iTunes) then add the video via iTunes...seemless and not a hassle in any way.Something as simple as loading a video requires a jumbled process of USB importing, dipping in and out of the stripped-down desktop mode, opening a Video app, importing, going back into the Video app, and then playing. What.
It seems the reviewer tries reviewing the product on its own merits then when he knows the iPad does things better referencing it but if the iPad has the similar issues (video being the case in point) just calling it hard work and forgetting the iPad altogether. Not a single mention of an android tablet anywhere in there either...
