Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online How does one explain just how large the 2013 International CES is? It covers the entire expanse of the Las Vegas Convention Center’s 3.2 million square feet. It also spills out into the parking lot, offering exhibitors, media, food trucks, and a few other booths a place to set up.

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online It’s been interesting to watch Microsoft handle being a hardware producer for the past several weeks. Their Surface with Windows RT is their first attempt at taking Apple’s approach to products, holding on tightly to both software and hardware. When it was first announced this summer, Microsoft revealed as little about the tablet as possible; no price, no shipping dates. The journalists they invited to the event weren’t even...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online It’s one of this year’s most anticipated gadgets, and it’s already sold out of pre-order stock, despite the fact that no hands on reviews have been released. No, it’s not an Apple device, it’s the Microsoft Surface. Normally, it’s Apple who has the lust worthy device. They’ll announce it in a grand way (much like they will tomorrow morning), send out a few demo units for review, and sell out of pre-orders in a matter...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com When Microsoft took the stage last night in Los Angeles for their very special event to talk about their “tablet strategy,” it was pretty obvious they’d be announcing their own tablet. After all, All Things D — as they often do — announced as much last Friday. Sure enough, after some brief back-patting, (wherein they boasted their long-tenured legacy as a hardware company…) they unveiled the Microsoft Surface. No, not THAT Surface. The new...
