As for the new tablet from Microsoft called Surface, businessman confesses that the first sales start “modestly” but we announced the next marketing a “high-end” of its product – described as “unique “-” with a new Intel with a screen resolution higher ” [/quote]
If true, this does not bode well for Microsoft. The Redmond-based company was hoping that the Surface tablet will give them the much needed boast in the Post-PC era. Apple and Google has so been the dominate players on the mobile space.
