D'you really not get where I'm coming from??????????

It's obvious they copied Apple. Why would Apple copy a failed product from microsoft? and why would they wait almost a decade to do it? Samsung obviously copied Apple's iPad because it was SUCCESSFUL. Microsoft's tablet was never successful. microsoft tried to make a tablet that would be a replacement for laptops, and make it as much like a laptop as possible. The iPad is not trying to replace laptops at all, it's just a giant iPhone. Apple is only guilty of copying ITSELF.

Didn't that old Microsoft tablet use a stylus? A stylus won't even work on an iPad. They had totally different operating systems, and totally different user experiences. The same cannot be said about the iPad and Samsung's copycat version.

IT WAS STILL A TABLET.

Putting a shiny new cover on it doesn't mean that the original premise is not the same? Even changing the processor doesn't mean that the idea is not the same? The idea was a tablet computer, and Microsoft thought of it first and Apple copied it.
