> I've seen people walking-and-laptop, walk-and-iPad, walk-and-Nexus, but never walk-and-surface as they move down the street either.
That's an interesting observation. I think it's because with a traditional tablet, it's all one hard device that's easy to carry around, with a laptop, it's less easy to carry, but you kind of know where all the bits will go. With a flexible keyboard/case like the surface, you kind of want the keyboard out like a laptop, but it'll flop all over the place and isn't as usable in that sense. You could just fold it back and use it as a tablet, but that may not be a mode Surface users are used to.
