windows surface or iPad?

Has anyone seen much about the windows surface tablet? I've only heard about it from others and it sounds like it will be pretty good? I've not used a windows tablet so don't know if it will be as good as an iPad? Don't know if I should wait for the new microsoft one or just buy the iPad.

Windows Surface looks nice, and based on the specs, you'll be able to support and manage it a lot better in the enterprise than an iPad. The issue I have with the iPad (or iOS in general) is being locked into the Apple iTunes ecosystem. Right now, I have an Android tablet (love it) and a Windows 8 tablet (love it, too). The biggest drawback for the Windows 8 tablet is apps. There's just not enough Metro-style apps available yet, but that will change as we get closer to Surface launch. I'd switch to using the Windows 8 tablet full-time if there were enough good apps available. Granted, all apps continue to run on the Windows 8 tablet, but its tough finger pecking in the old interfaces like Outlook 2012, etc. There are a few apps on my Android tablet that I simply cannot live without, which makes moving to the Windows 8 tablet for good really hard to do.

I didn't even think of Andriod tablets. What tablets do you have? How easy is it connectivity wise to other machines? This was why I was thinking of waiting for the surface tablet because I figure it would be a windows OS connecting to other windows OS so it should be relatively painless. But you also brought up the point that I was thinking that the iPad already has a lot of apps already and is more of a mature tablet device in that sense.
