Of course this one was guy so if there is an Alaska guy reading this jump in and correct me if I am wrong.

Most reviews of the Surface Pro (our next tablet) say it is superior to the iPad. Between that and the business relation we have with Microsoft i think the Surface is here to stay.

Okay, I'll admit to being a late adopter on the surface. My content locker on my ipad was lockup and crash prone to the point I stayed using paper until the end.

The issues I have with the surface after a short usage period is a pretty short list.

Lack of ball notes on the chart. Lack of area charts in the airport menu. Inability to have the approach and taxi diagram up at the same time (if there's a way to do this plz share).

Also, it would be nice to have the delta app available that let's you watch one of the delta movies on the commute in a wifi enabled jet.

I haven't set up my private partition yet, but I think when these few things are fixed, I'll be a surface fan.
