Is there a link to the video now that it’s gone from their home page?

What a silly article.

The Surface is a computer.  Not a great computer, but an actual computer that you can install any software you want on it.

The iPad is a toy, stuck in a walled garden app store.

There are 1.8 million apps available for iPad.  You’d have to have some really specific needs for that not to do just fine.

And for the stuff Apple doesn’t want you to have, there is always Safari and the open web, which works great.

And while Windows may be a computer, it’s a horrid operating system and I’d much prefer iPadOS.

So where are things beautiful?

The Bay Area and NYC.

Cheer up, through.  Here in Costa Rica we don’t even get navigation and I have to use Google Maps or Waze.

Unfortunately I can understand why Costa Rica is a low priority.  Costa Ricans don’t buy iPhones, they are far too expensive.  Only tourists and expats (like me) have them, and most of us buy them from the USA because import fees here are prohibitively high.

I wonder how this will work, since all the satellite services I know of require a dish — which is certainly not portable equipment.  

Also I wonder how much this service would cost, and whether it’s a first step to introducing an Apple cell carrier, which I would think would be an almost guaranteed success if service isn’t awful.

Certainly Apple’s level of customer loyalty is far, far higher than Verizon’s will ever be.

I really loved the old IBM Model M keyboards!  If they could build something that would provide this kind of feel, and let people select the feel they wanted, it would be really cool.
