I develop iOS apps on the side using a Mac, but for my day job I use Windows. Because of this, I've never felt the need to buy an iPad (except Gen 1 due to the novelty), nor try to justify getting one for work. However, I've always wanted to get a Surface Pro since the day I learned it can run full Windows apps, and the Surface Pro 2 just makes this desire stronger.
I just feel that this tablet is more practical and more functional for me.
Like I said, I do have an iPad - a Gen 1 that we got for casual use, and for testing the lone iPad app that I created. It saw a lot more use in its first year than all the years since, and we (wife and I) never got the urge to upgrade. However, we upgrade one or both iPhones each year. I just don't see the iPad as approaching the potential practicality for me the way a Surface Pro does.
