The constant competition in the digital world will never stop.
You will always have new cell phones, computers -- and now the latest and greatest in tablets. Just about everyone I know -- whether they own and iPad or not -- refers to their tablets as an iPad.
The NFL has all their teams using the Microsoft Surface and have instructed their announcers to refer to them as the Surface and not as "iPads."
It looks as if the professionals don't want to use their Surface either. One photo was tweeted Wednesday morning with CNN anchors using their Surfaces as a stand for their iPad.
Some people just can't embrace new.
