I don't think they can but I REALLY wish someone would. I cannot stand Apple.

Microsoft could sell more devices, but would it make more money? More than likely, not.

In the short term, no. In the long term, probably yes.

It's the same principle they took with the Xbox. They lost TONS of money with the original Xbox. They knew they would. They did it anyways because they knew it would get their foot in the door in that industry and lead to much bigger things. They now plan on the Xbox being the home entertainment hub for the entire family- not just kids.

The same could be said with the tablet segment. Get you foot in the door in this segment and it could lead to big things- especially since people are buying fewer PC's now. MS NEEDS to get into this market segment or they'll suffer in a big way.

Nope if Apple bring out mini iPad it's price will be lower than the cheapest surface tablet. Apples iPad will not be beaten by the surface. Not in the short term not in the long term.

I really do want to buy a Surface. It's biggest selling point is the awesome keyboard.

Unfortunately that's $600 right there. People are going to jump for a "cool" iPad at that point. Microsoft needs to sell at production costs and make it back in the Win 8 app store.
