>The weakness of the iPad is that it is a thoroughly a consumer oriented product. When it is supposed to replace paper manuals for pilots, all you need is a consumer grade tablet. Especially if it comes in a build quality like the iPad. And with the now free iWork suit it is not even exclusively a consumer device. But again, if you just use it as an alternative to paper manuals, where exactly is the need for a Surface? What feature of the Surface would be of use for the Pilots that they don't get with an iPad?
