The next day I brought it to my company and all my colleagues were surprised with this device and said "how fantastic is this device". But sadly, nobody in my company except me ever heard about Surface. In their mind, the tablet is iPad or Galaxy Tab. I also have one Sony Xperia Tablet S and nobody even knew it before I showed it. I was in Mediamarkt several times since Surface launched in Holland. Only few people tried them and most of people are standing in the Apple Center. People don't want to try it and even don't bother give them a try. It is just too difficult for Microsoft to introduce this device to the consumers. iPad occuppied people's mind and this will last for a long time. Not only Surface sells poor. Other tablets have the same fate. (I am only talking about 10 inch tablets). |
You make a very good point here, I will confess to not having actually even seen one let alone tried one out. My previous post is made on the basis of what I know from all I've read and I guess I fit into the type of person you describe. My reasons for not being interested are a bit different maybe to others as I remember wishing MS would get on with the "coffee table that works like an iPad"...except the iPad hadn't even been released when this was first shown by Microsoft.
Hence my issue with Surface. You're spot on, iPad has the market (can't stand apple but credit here of course), The point is MS could have beaten Apple to the punch with Surface and released before iPad.
Even now that it's been released, where the hell is it?
