Apple’s Tim Cook sees Microsoft Surface as a ‘fairly compromised, confusing product’
Anyone wondering what Apple CEO Tim Cook thinks of Microsoft’s new Surface tablet didn’t have to wait long to get an answer. Cook offered a fairly blunt assessment of the device on the company’s quarterly earnings call today, saying that while he hasn’t personally played with one, “we’re reading that it’s a fairly compromised, confusing product.” He went on to say that “I think one of the things you do with a product is make hard trade-offs. The user experience on the iPad is absolutely incredible,” adding, “I suppose you could design a car that flies and floats, but I don’t think it would do all of those things very well. When people look at the iPad versus competitive offerings, I think they’ll continue to want an iPad.” As for Apple’s own new tablet, the iPad mini , Cook dismissed the notion that it would cannibalize other iPad sales
