Eric, there are two separate Microsoft Surface tablets; Surface RT runs Win RT on a Tegra 3, but the Surface Pro runs full Win 8 on an i5, which I'm pretty sure is native PC code. But as I said, I've only played with a Pro for a few hours, not used one in anger, and I didn't try running desktop apps on it, though it is supposed to be capable of it.

Re iPad photo import, not doubting you, but I'm sure the iPad supports RAW, though I haven't used it myself recently < runs off to check > yes, from Apple:- "Tech Specs
iPad and the Camera Connection Kit support standard photo formats, including JPEG and RAW, along with SD and HD video formats, including H.264 and MPEG-4...."

And FWIW there was a good 'iPad workflow for photographers' piece here btw:- http://www.macworld.com/article/1151911 ... kflow.html

It's what I was told by the Apple Store. We were looking at a new iMac though, so it might have just been an attempt to persuade us to buy. It certainly won't work on the G3 tower, which was the target machine, nor will it work as a print server for the iPad (using Apple s/w, again, so they told me). I couldn't be bothered to pursue it, and she rarely needs to print anything from it, so it's not an issue in use. As I said Direct Office works for me, and I think there's a binary for iOs, if it ever becomes a big thing.

Excellent!

Thanks.

Readers will be delighted to know that my Android tablet froze, literally as Janowicz lifted his arm for the final serve against Murray last night. The iPad had earlier been hogging the wifi bandwidth but its batteries died about 1/2 hour previously. I must have left it on whilst plugging it in to charge...
