Just A Matter Of Time ...

... and the Surface will be history.

MacRumors is reporting:

Microsoft is planning to drop the prices of its Surface RT tablets by $150, reports The Verge. 

The lower prices, which will go into effect on Sunday July 14, are likely the result of lackluster sales.

Bloomberg reported in March that Microsoft had sold just 1.5 million Surface RT and Surface Pro tablets since they debuted in October of 2012 and February of 2013, respectively, with 400,000 of those sales attributed to the Pro. HP experienced similarly poor sales with its TouchPad, which was heavily discounted and then discontinued.

By the way, whatever happened to the Zune?

A Letter To The Granddaughters

Times have really changed. It's wonderful to wake up in the morning, grab the tablet and check a) the mail; b) one business site; c) two news sites; d) one news aggregation sites -- takes about ten minutes. That gives me plenty of time to wake up. The original Apple iPad is/was the right size, but I have to admit, I may enjoy the mini for reading in bed. Not sure yet.
