    Love it, Microsoft finally drops the Surface pricing etc. - Apple steals the show.

    I don't know how Apple purists will feel about this one, seeing as Jobs condemned the idea of a 7" tablet - but it'll probably mean that Surface is dead on arrival with all the hype.

    Doubt it, there'll be a week of hype due to the pre-orders, tons of reviews and then the days right after the Apple announcement a lot of discussion will be about Windows 8 in general anyway.

    Agreed. If it is the iPad Mini, then why have they ignored Jobs? He attacked the idea of having a smaller tablet :/

    If it is, I expect them to ignore other things he has said that are actually pointless, like his thermo-nuclear war against Android which is widely agreed upon as being pointless and anti-competitive.

    As for the matter at hand, a smaller iPad would serve Apple well. There is quite a lot of demand from iPad users who would like something smaller and more comfortable to fit in the hand. They are a bit tedious to walk around with, like holding a huge 10x8" photoframe

    Indeed, the news buzzing around about the Surface is pretty positive. People are obviously moaning about the price, but the Surface (or is it just "Surface"?) is in itself a good computer. There's a lovely image going around of someone plugging an iPad into the Surface. I imagine that's the Pro, not the RT version but I've not looked that deep into the details of either.

    Yeah, Steve did have doubts about a smaller iPad, but Steve being the character he is, does change his mind.

    Though I think I read somewhere that Steve in the end, was convinced about a 7inch tablet.

    Also, one think I really miss from Apple events since Steves death and whats lacked from the events is the 'One more thing' as that was always something nice.

    I guess you're referring to this:

    I definitely think there's a market for a smaller iPad, but it will be interesting to see the exact specs, price and everything, next week.

    Not online very often

    I didn't know anyone had even seen a Surface Pro in the wild yet?

    Is it just me who thinks that no 3G is a bad idea with the Surface. I know people who like to use tablets like mobile phones on the go, in places that often won't have WIFI. This will put some people off in my opinion.

    Well some people often buy those devices where you connect them via WiFi which then gives them 3G service? Instead of paying out to buy the 3G version of the product. Or connect to your smart phone which then let's you do the same thing.
