Should i buy Surface Pro? Windows Phone 8? Or...?

[wideoatmeal295]

Im a total tech-junkie! I jumped right into the iphone waggon a week after the very 1st iphone came out; back when i would put it on a tabletop at the club/bar and ppl would wonder and wanna play with it. Owned 3 iphones since including iphone 4s at the moment. Apple is suuuuuper boring now, even iphone 5, was a nice change to a 4" screen but thats really it. Not impressed at all! And yes i know all the specs etc. galaxy S3 was very impressive, so is Windows Phone 8. Actually wp8 is the most appealing to me by far, very fresh and smooth, it would be a no brainer if it werent for the lack of apps. I totally hate that after every commercial on TV with a companion App it says "download the app for idevice and android" never wp8. =( i cld probably live w that but i am a big fan of instagram, thats my addiction to social media. Anyway, i want a tablet and again ipad and ipad minis totally un-impresive to me, and yes i knw the specs too, but the surface looks suuuper sweet. Again, apps. Whats your honest opinion as far as buying my next gen gadgets? Non apple please. I know all the pros and cons arguments for Apple, i wanna know microsoft and android please. Thanks in advanced.

The beauty of the Surface Pro is that it is a full-blown WIndows 8 machine, capable of running any Windows programs - Office, Photoshop, etc. If you're looking mainly at apps, and not productivity (business) aspect of a tablet, you may want to give Android a shot. The next-gen Google Nexus 10 should be announced late February at the Mobile World Congress. Personally, I'm curious to see how the Surface Pro does after its release; definitely holding out to try the Levono 11s when it comes out in June. A long wait, yes, but i want to see what happens, price-wise, once everyone has their cards on the table and are fighting for consumer loyalty (Surface Pro, Google Nexus 10, Apple Macbook refresh in June, iPad refresh around April, and a full round of Win8 ultrabook releases)
