As the momentum builds for a midnight release of the Microsoft Surface<\/a> (thanks to the Reg<\/a>) Microsoft are still keeping very quiet about a lot of key things – most notably will it have a 3G\/4G connectivity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Even in its RT version Surface has a lot of things going for it over other tablets like full USB<\/strong>, HDMI<\/strong>, TPM encryption<\/strong> (Bitlocker managed in the Pro version), integrated kick stand<\/strong>, Microsoft Office<\/strong>, a design and build quality<\/strong> that IMO rivals the iPad and its touch covers<\/strong> which build in a cover and keyboard into one item<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We do know that the Asus Vivo RT comes with 4G<\/a> (in at least the US) but still no mention of the Surface getting it.<\/p>\n

Personally this is the biggest feature that the Surface needs to succeed – without it the Surface would become a tablet that you can only use at home\/at work (assuming you have Wi-Fi). Yes you may say you could hook up to a coffee shop Wi-Fi network or your phones tethering ability while out and about but nothing beats the seamless nature of 3G built right in.<\/p>\n

So I say to Microsoft-<\/p>\n
