[AccessD] OT: Looks funny,

Hans,

Uh, no, Apple did not innovate the iPad.  Just go Google the Surface 
specifications.
After you read them, you will understand that the table top "tablet" 
that MS developed,
called Surface, was actually the original iPad/Android.  Apple and 
others just made
them smaller. Now that the "originator" is getting into the game, we 
will see what happens.
Not that MS gets everything right and does everything good.

All of the "gesture" specifications were spelled out for Apple and 
Android developers
a long time ago by those Surface specifications.  So, the only 
"technical revolution" was
the shrinking of the size from a table top to a 10" design (or 
smaller).  I wonder how many
of the Surface table top tablets are at Apple.  Food for thought...

And, yes I admit it.  I will never buy anything that starts with an 
i, or from Apple.
