Not sure where to put this, if it is a Honda, I apologize...

Nice use of technology advertising.

CNN Discovers Promotional Surface Pros Make Fantastic iPad Stands

Last night, CNN wasn't just covering the mid-term elections. It was also pimping the Surface Pro 3, conspicuously placing a kickstand-ed unit in front of a bunch of its commentators. The catch? They were actually just being used as iPad stands.

As GeekWire points out, a few eagle-eyed viewers pointed out that behind every Surface Pro 3, there's an iPad running the show.

This comes on the heels of NFL commentators calling Microsoft's Surface an iPad and "iPad-like" after a 400 million dollar deal to do exactly not that. Still, at least it's making a solid case for kickstands. And if they can use this to saddle Wolf Blitzer with unsold Zunes and Kins for a month, it'll all be worth it. [Geekwire via 9to5Mac]

The shame of it is that surface is a really solid device but admittedly faces an uphill battle.

It probably is, If I wasn't an Apple-phile I'd be interested. Just thought it was funny!

iPads do a few things very well and for many people it's all they need. I don't consider them to be similar devices since the Surface Pro is essentially an ultrabook.

Not impressed at all. I'm anticipating the Surface Pro 4 instead. If that lives up to the hype with the new chip set, that could be the first real game changer in a long time.
