If you read our article about the new gadgets already know in detail some of the highlights of the apparatus, as the screen with 16:9 aspect ratio and high angle, the camera 22 degrees of tilt, or the incredible Touch Kickstand Cover .
However, despite the innovations shown at launch, only when we put our hands on gadgets is that we can really see what they can do. Thinking about it, some sites such as Gizmodo and Mashable, decided to make a counterpoint.
Pages that link articles prepared some questions that put into question the success of Microsoft's tablets. Know, then, some questions that only the future of online Surface will be able to answer.
There will be support for data plans
Despite several appeals by the company, a crucial element for the success of a mobile device was not clear: there is the possibility of using data plans mobile phone?
The subject, indeed, was not addressed at any time, it seemed that Microsoft chose to ignore it even. Thus, we do not know if any of the models will come with such compatibility and whether there is support for 3G or 4G.
How much they will cost
The instruments are beautiful, functional and certainly aroused the desire of many people who can not wait to be able to buy a tablet Surface. However, the submission did not provide values for the marketing of gadgets, and Microsoft said only that they will be "competitively priced".
It is logical that the company has its reasons. If disclose the price now, months before the devices reach the stores, competitors would have time to make appropriate cuts and hitting power values announced by the Redmond giant. But with such a vague definition, have to agree: it was difficult to pinpoint what the standard prices assessed by the Redmond giant.
The values envisaged by experts would be around $ 600 (around $ 1,229), for version "simple", and one thousand dollars (2048 dollars) for the Surface with Pro Windows 8, since the latter also compete ultrabooks with bringing the Intel Core i5.
Lacking specific information
During the presentation, Microsoft managed to impress everyone, with great storage capacity and processor jaw-dropping. Nevertheless, it became clear many important aspects of the tablets.
How long the battery will last them in use or on standby? How is the performance of the gadget when it comes to process heavy games and play videos in high resolution? Support for multitasking can be satisfactory as in a notebook.

When I'll have one
According to Microsoft, the first version of Surface, one with Windows RT, should reach the market with Windows 8, while launching the most powerful gadget only happen about three months later.
That's something, but the company has not yet formalized the date on which its new operating system will hit stores. That is, we will only know when the tablets are on the shelves when the firm resolve to announce the release date of Windows 8.
There will be compatibility with the Xbox.
Although Microsoft has talked a lot about integration with the Xbox E3 last tablets in 2012, during Surface presentation of the subject line was ignored. Thus, we can only assume that the resources will be available SmartGlass.

As Microsoft partners will react.
Lately, Microsoft has hinted that want to enter force in the market of mobile operating systems. The RT version of Windows, Windows 8, is a factor that proves so strong these statements.
However, if the market in general liked the surprise brought by the company, other manufacturers of portable gadgets may not be so much enjoying the novelty. That's because they will compete with the company that created the OS, which means a great competitive advantage for Microsoft itself.
Moreover, recent statements were aware that some companies are unhappy with the pricing policy to be practiced by the company, which would be charging for expensive Windows licenses RT, which should reflect the value of selling the tablets from other manufacturers.
