AnonD-84894, 15 Oct 2013Practical Mobility? Seriously, have you tried Surface???let me know when you can setup your simple office email on you Surface, when you can get a professional app that will make on the go, record, monitor and send invoices, proposals and receipts to clients; ln my Case as an ITengineer, let me know when your surface an practically assist you in aligning a satellite antenna using Apps like GPS assisted compass and elevation calculators calculators

You can also let me know when you can at the same time on fieldwork conference call and chat back and forth with parameters aw details.

I'm a practical user and had hopes in windows which is why I got the Lenovo thnkpad tablet 2 3g immediately it came out and realized it was just a waste of time, which is why my MK5 CF-19 Panasonic Toughbook is doing nothing and why companies making windows based field tablets are making android tablets

This is not bias, Windows lacks productivity for real world mobility needs. It's funny that a Note 8 less than $500 renders a $2000 tough book useless and at times the thinkpad tab 2 feels like soooo much work just to navigate.

Mobility, practicality and portability is what Windows lacks!!

    WP is a newish OS and already it has come so far, smoother and safer than Android, yet not as stuck up as iOS which makes it more perfect than both of those

        Okee, this is my fair opinions, been using wp os since lumia 800 and lumia 720, to be fair i love my phone and the os for 9 months which is the record for myself, but after playing with iphone 4 and ios which i found indeed very easy and not to mentions top apps and games always come first to either ios or android, i made my mind and switch to ios ecosystem hence i bought myself iphone 5 and recently updated to ios 7, never really use android just a quick hand with S4 and Xperia Z1 but i guess im just not into android system, so my point is wp os will still have a hard time to be in race with ios and android because devs still priority to ios and android, thanks

                    I am no WP fan, but appreciate MS for their continued push towards making WP more appealing, Apple should learn something from MS instead of being arrogant.

                              I dont give a damn about that snapdraon 800 and 1080p resolution support..

                              what I and most WP8 lovers out there is a system wide file manager and USB OTG support..

                                  Perhaps you are dreaming? Windows mobile is an incomplete OS at its best.. Otherwise it is still a crap. It cant even multitask properly.. How they are saying it a smartphone OS? iOS is a niche OS people use for style and very few outside US use it(dont cry, see the stats first). It is so incomplete that they had released it without a FM driver..now only the driver is complete. If MS wants to succeed, it must listened to people. They cant understand that they dont have monopoly in mobile OS like desktop.

                                      1080p screen is for what? great processor is for what?

                                      that features is present in android to run heavy games and apps.

                                      before doing this, manage your apps and games first .

                                      if you would stay having few apps, just stay at 720p, and dual core krait its enough!
