sorry @parislemon but the iPad keyboard situation is embarrassingly bad in use. Bonus: makes iPad look like cheap netbook.

urgh, you can't rotate the iPad keyboard all the way around. and once paired, on-screen keyboard never appears, even when detached.

yeah so I'm going with "Surface is like an iPad with a keyboard" is, uh, incorrect. First party designed in, vs. kind of crappy hack.

if you need an escape or delete key on iPad you might be a little hosed, too http://t.co/IUeVv53L

Arrow keys to select from a HTML drop-down? Totally does not work. Fantastic. Tab between fields works at least. Until you hit a drop-down.

hey guess how many of these keyboard shortcuts work in Mobile Safari? http://t.co/RLEjdQ2X near as I can tell, none of them.

there are a ton of places on iPad where keyboard does *nothing*. At home screen, arrows or typing? nope. Mail arrow to next? nope.

The Nexus 10 just does not have the moxie needed to drive such a large display. Not even iPad 3 levels of performance on tap.

@cbsmith402 Tegra 3 is great for what it is. But Intel cruuushes it. I get 150ms sunspider on the Yoga 13 (core i5 ivy bridge).

@cbsmith402 and FYI, iPhone 5 scores about 1 sec as well; the best (newest) phones do about that. 1 sec is the new normal Sunspider score.

@cbsmith402 performance on Surface is decent, I expect high res devices to have decent performance as well. Not so on Nexus 10.

1.4 sec sunspider, Nexus 10? Seriously? WTF is up with the ARM A15? Even Surface RT does 1.0 sec!

Nexus 10 mini-review: great display and form factor, but performance is noticeably and frequently worse than the iPad 4.

Nexus 10 just arrived. I can't get enough of these hi-res displays. Beautiful.

really enjoying my new iPad mini, great size, display, and performance. One small problem, it seems to have "Nexus 7" printed on the back.

Playing with the Yoga 13. Crazy faster than Surface RT, but also kinda too big and heavy. Despite higher res, widescreen still bad rotated.

I used to be an Android hater too, but 4.0 was nice. 4.2 just arrived on my Nexus 7 and it's even nicer still.
