The iPad is a powerful smartphone, the Surface is a toned down PC. They're both tablets, but it seems to me they have very different applications targeted at very different consumers. Microsoft have probably been quite smart in that respect.

I would buy a Surface over an iPad, it would suit my needs better. An iPad may suit someone else better. I see no need for rivalry here.
