The Surface tablet, Microsoft’s big bet in a world dominated by Apple, is heavily criticized by competitors, despite the impressive success it recorded since the Redmond-based company released pricing information.
But this only happens because the Surface is the kind of device everyone needs, Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer said in an interview with CNBC. Apple’s iPad? Just the type of product you can’t really use, Ballmer added, emphasizing that the new Surface has everything it needs to reimagine the tablet market.
“I don’t think anybody has done a product that is the product that I see customers wanting,” Ballmer stated.
“You can go through the products from all those guys … and none of them has a product that you can really use. Not Apple. Not Google. Not Amazon. Nobody has a product that lets you work and play that can be your tablet and your PC. Not at any price point.”
