Which of those require a lot of typing? All I can think of is word and even that could be just reformatting your text on the go. If you want to fiddle with some coding or even a simple excel sheet, that is either impossible or absolute hell on ios/android.

 

Windows gaming is better, now and forever. Why wouldn't I play any games I want with my tablet? Because you say so?

Browser: No, I haven't used it. Does that make java work on android? Does it have greasemonkey?

Streaming, you don't know. That about sums it up.

Streaming video? Some codecs don't work even from sd card. Tversity&co streaming does not play those files either. If you are not going to believe me, I don't care.

You do realize MS Office will be on iOS/Android very soon right? Additionally, GoogleDocs provides all the same functionality and does work fine. But if you're using office software, they you'll likely always want a keyboard as you're doing a lot of inputting of text. That's the only real difference. Its the typing... not either OS.

Windows gaming in terms of core gaming is only better right now... however, if you include OnLive and a bluetooth controller like PS3's then its identical. So you are simply wrong. Additionally, Google and Apple have both either directly stated or had various new patents that show they will be greatly expanding into core gaming with normalized controllers. In 2013 that shift will happen. Its inevitable.

Yes Chrome in Android uses java just fine as well as greasemonkey. A game I was recently playing required it.

Streaming/Video... send a file type or site and I can test. I think you're either uninformed, making it up, or simply using things that are clearly not main stream/common/mass consumer tools.

Are you going to do your work through a phone/tablet? no so its pointless to compare that or tools specific to those fields like programming. You wouldn't do it with a windows based tablet either, you need more robust hardware, kb/ms, etc.

So can I have that now on my ipad or android tablet? No. When can I have it and will it be similar? As I said, you could be just editing your documents. That does not need a lot of typing and uhh, surface pro haz a keyboardz verzion, no?

Windows gaming is always better than ios/android. Why? Because you can play those games you already own for example on steam AND you can use that onlive-thingy. Just plug 360 pad or mouse to your usb port and quess what, you are good to go.

I will try chrome now and see about that. :)

Most of those videos are a) too big to send or b) not for your eyes. For streams, you can go to a wiziwig site. Google it, I am not going to give a link because I am not sure if that is against the rules.

 

Of course I am going to do some work with my tablet, why wouldn't I? You are once again, telling me what I need and don't need. Are you really that narrowminded? Surface pro works with mouse and keyboard, you knowz? It also works as a tablet, omgz!
