Satya Nadella takes a dig at Tim Cook for underestimating Microsoft Surface
Microsoft has actually been having a lot of fun at Apple’s expense over the whole affair: This last summer, Microsoft ran TV commercials slamming Apple’s claim that an iPad Pro was as capable a laptop replacement as a Surface Pro 4 tablet. To revive the smartphone business, rumors are building up that Microsoft is developing Microsoft Windows Surface Phone.
This is what Microsoft did with its new Surface Studio, which was launched a day before Apple showed off the iMac 2016, effectively overshadowing the iPhone maker’s desktop.
So is he really referring to the upcoming Surface Phone?
Microsoft might release a truly great phone but the question is how will they get apps on board the Windows Mobile OS. The Surface Pen will offer more precise and accurate input method, while the removable keyboard will be used for all the long typing sessions, according to the reports.
After the downfall of the Nokia-inspired Lumia line-up, Microsoft has not been able to assert its authority in the smartphone world. We can expect the Surface Book to step into development once the Surface Phone is out.
The most recent drivers Microsoft sent to the Surface Book was back on October 28. Priced at $1,249, it means you save $250 off the normal price when you buy the device from the official Microsoft Store. Eve V, a Windows 10-powered tablet, was developed with the inputs provided by user community created by the company itself and has reportedly got the attention of Nadella. In the email, Panos Panay revealed that the company will be offering a dedicated support line for the new Surface Studio owners. Besides, there are also, few new features are supposed to be coming along with the launch of Microsoft Surface Pro 5.
23, Microsoft started shipping out the ultrathin Surface Studio to those who had preordered the PC on the first day of availability itself. Till then, stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below.
However, if the next Surface Pro were equipped with, say, a 4K (3,840 pixels wide, at least) screen, it would woo the film and photo editors. Use Windows 10 and its competent management of a mobile environment for the end-user.
