BS, What are you smoking, Joe?
Microsoft copied Apple and the Apple ecosystem in developing the Microsoft Surface line. All of these predate the Microsoft Surface design and patent applications:
It’s so much fun to engage the typical true Apple fanatic and watch em squirm and try and wiggle out of a hole of their own making.
I will simply repeat what I have been asking you for the last 8 hours : PROVIDE THE PROOF THAT MICROSOFT BRIBED ANY OF THE TECH PUBLICATIONS/WRITERS THAT HAVE WRITTEN ANY OF THE SPATE OF RECENT ARTICLES POINTNG OUT THAT APPLE IS RIPPING OFF THE MICROSOFT SURFACE/SURFACE COVER AFTER FIRST OF ALL TRASHING THE SURFACE WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT.
That’s an easy/simple enough request isn’t it? You made the assertion, you prove it. I want dates, names, figures.
Apple, nor Zagg, invented Bluetooth keyboards.
Microsoft Surface keyboards are not Bluetooth. They attach via a magnetic connector...Very nifty actually, I have the original RT that I have been using for a number of years now...talk about battery life!
In any case, you can’t make a valid claim that Zagg got ripped off....lol...I had a Bluetooth keyboard many years ago, shortly after Bluetooth began to show up in devices.... before tablets....In my case I had to buy the transmitter and the receiver...Must have been early 2000s..I still have a Bluetooth dongle and I still use it!
Zagg is just a accessory maker...
BTW, Microsoft had a tablet OS as far back as win98. I suppose you are now going to tell me that MS ripped off that concept as well..
Ummmm.....your slip is showing old chap:
Only thing is, Microsoft launched a touch input tablet a full decade before Jobs launched the iPad in 2010.
And # 2' the iPad was never meant as a laptop replacement, which is what the Surface is. Tech Cook mocked.the Surface for trying to be a tablet and a laptop at the same time and predicted it would fail. Ergo, it's impossible for the Surface to copy an iPad that never did what the Surface did, which is double as a laptop.
