I played around with it for a little while and couldn't find an interesting Android app other than games. I might just uninstall it as a waste of disk space. What useful Android apps are available besides games that would run in this and not already be available as a Windows app?

Same with iPad. LTE iPads can work between Verizon and GSM carriers. If it can be done with an iPad, it's possible that they could make an LTE Surface 3 that works on both Verizon and T-Mobile instead of totally separate SKUs for Verizon model vs T-Mobile model.

Yes it's possible. They can install a mobile broadband chip that works on multiple carriers. Verizon iPhone 5 and up also works on AT&T and T-Mobile. LTE isn't CDMA.

It actually works on the S3 even without the hardware virtualization. Follow the instructions in the video. Some things like wireless didn't work right for me until I did a couple of extra reboots, but now it seems fine.

I don't remember if it was in the box with the pen or if it was separate. I didn't recognize it as a pen loop at first. It was just in a plastic wrapper. It may have been mixed in with some of the papers and manuals.

Costco bundles it with a pen loop with at least the 4GB model. I ordered mine from Costso and there was a pen loop in a box. I didn't order a pen loop separately.

OK, we'll probably just wait for the official release and test with the 90 day evaluation version.

We are not going to test the Tech Preview in our company because it is still in too much flux and unstable and there are concerns of private company data, passwords and customer data being logged and sent back to Microsoft over the Internet scooped up as part of debugging logging. Is there...

With Windows 8.1 remote desktop from Surface 3 isn't usable for many people without a lot of tweaking and using the clunky and old Remote Desktop Connection Manager application. The standard desktop and modern RDP clients make the remote system's UI tiny and difficult to read small text and...

I found that you can use the newer RDCM 2.7 if you follow these instructions. One thing I did differently than it says below is that I set "remote desktop size" as FULL SCREEN instead of SAME AS CLIENT AREA. Then go to the Session menu and select Full Screen. ----------------------------...

Remote Desktop Connection Manager works. You need to set the local resolution of the Surface to something you like, then use version 2.2 of RDCM and then set the remote desktop size to "full screen."

The pen loop can be attached to the keyboard or the body of the tablet or to the kickstand or you could not use a pen loop and simply clip it to groove in the keyboard or you could buy the Cleanstylus accessory http://cleanint.com/cleanstylus-surface-3/ What's the best way?

Does anyone know if a SIM card and data plan from a Verizon MiFi will work in the LTE Surface? We have mifis already, but it would be nice to not need to have another device to carry and charge. The only time mifi will be better is when there is a need to share the connection between multiple...

Because some people might buy a stylus and not use a Microsoft keyboard.

This Anker charger seems to charge well when used with the charging cable that comes with the Surface. It charges fast enough when used with this that I can charge and use the Surface at the same time, but the best use would be charging the Surface while it's being stored in a bag. The Surface...

You can multitask with a Surface 3 without a problem if the apps and files are not huge and resource hungry. It depends on what you are trying to multitask. Multitasking heavy Photoshop processing of huge files along along with using Visual Studio while playing a 4k video at the same time is not...

It actually can be Surface 3 specific. I have found that IE 11 cannot handle heavy scripts pulling remote content and displaying ads on websites such as cnn.com without hanging with lots of lag and long running script and browser not responding warnings that a Surface Pro 3 might be able to...

Easylist solves the issue of IE11 regularly hanging and not responding on cnn.com and a few other websites and does it by blocking ads. That seems to prove that ads are the source of the problem. I guess cnn.com deserves to have their ads blocked if they have a poorly implemented ad system that...

Yes, there is a business use case where employees could use these primarily for accessing email, giving presentations and for VPN access to other systems via Remote Desktop. 64GB should be plenty for that type of use.

It's funny how the article neglects to mention that the extra $50 also includes the OS being upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro. You get both the extra RAM and Windows 8.1 Professional preloaded for $50 more than the 2GB consumer model.
