Microsoft announces Surface tablet at Los Angeles event

[Heisenberg]

The Microsoft Big Announcement Speculation Game can finally come to an end, as the company announced a new tablet device called Microsoft Surface this afternoon during a Los Angeles press event. Microsoft calls it the "companion hardware innovation" for Windows 8, an OS that was designed to work on mobile devices specifically.

The Surface includes a kickstand built in to the device, as well as an optional cover that contains a touch-typing, super thin keyboard and a multitouch trackpad. Because the device runs a full version of Windows 8, it presumably will run any games that work on that OS, but we'll have to wait and see how those games play. We can also presume that the Surface will work right alongside any other Smart Glass features to be announced for the Xbox later on. We'll have more on Surface in the future, so stay tuned.

I think it looks pretty good and I love the fact that it's so sleak and slim. The features of it will be great and much better than the iPad. I'll probably get it but no doubt it's gonna be expensive. People will say they stole it from Apple, but no, Microsoft presented the first tablet in 2002 and nobody cared, then a long 8 years later in 2010 Apple showed the iPad which is good but not phenomenal and you still can't do a few things. And everybody was just like "WOW" and now Microsoft bring out a awesome tablet pc which looks amazing and stupid people say that it was stolen from Apple.
