5:31PM Here’s a follow-up: “With the launch of Surface today, could you comment on what you see from a competitive standpoint?” 5:32PM Tim Cook: “I haven’t personally played with a Surface, but we’re reading that it’s a fairly compromised, confusing product. I think one of the things you do with a product is make hard trade-offs. The user experience on the iPad is absolutely incredible. I suppose you could design a car that flies and floats, but I don’t think it would do all of those things very well. When people look at the iPad versus competitive offerings, I think they’ll continue to want an iPad.” Snarky huh? Source]]>

  • Some people just don’t want Apple products. Not everyone wants to be an iClone.

  • iPads do compromise your experience, since its UI is simply a bigger iPhone with a lot of empty space. There is no adaptation in that sense.

  • A comment like that shows he’s defensive and scared of Surface. Its like when a child does something wrong and the parent calls him/her out on it and they start making every excuse in the book because they don’t want to get grounded. lol
