Microsoft Unveils Answer To the iPad: the 'Surface' Jun 19th 2012, 01:36 Los Angeles –  Microsoft has an answer to the iPad, and its name is Surface. The company has been hit and miss in the hardware market, and when the company misses, it does so epically -- remember the Zune? But Microsoft's hardware successes have become billion-dollar innovations, such as the Xbox or the mouse, which Microsoft pioneered. The market will decide whether the new Surface is a hit, but it has the look of one -- and it flies in the face of 35 years of partnerships with other companies, of putting Microsoft's software on other companies' computers. The 9.3 millimeter thick tablet comes with a kickstand to hold it upright and keyboard that is part of the device's cover. It weighs under 1.5 pounds.. The product was revealed by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at Milk Studios in Los Angeles.  Steven Sinofsky, the president of Microsoft's Windows division, called the device a "tablet that's a great PC --a PC that's a great tablet." The Associated Press contributed to this report.
