I'm glad to see that $15 is what we're getting hung up over. My apologies for the misunderstanding.

Also PDF reader is built into iOS. There is also iBooks and Adobe Reader (all free). If you get Pages you can also export documents to PDF with it.<p>Perhaps someone who knows the ecosystem better should be doing the reviews?

$6.99 on the iPad to print? Mine prints for free. I also set up a print server at work (also free) so a couple dozen enterprise printers are accessible from the iPad on the internal wifi.

"First, there’s a full-size USB 2.0 port. This means you can connect your existing peripheral devices, including a mouse, printer, or phone to your tablet. (Ever wish you could charge your phone with your iPad?)"<p>Is he really sure that Surface will be able to charge another device via USB? Having a port is one thing, but being able to deliver required power while on battery is another.

I know there's claims and counterclaims but if/when Office for iOS goes on sale it'll be interesting to see how they price it.

How does anyone know anything about the surface? Haven't most of the press <i>exclusive</i> samples been less than 5 minutes?
