CNN Discovers Promotional Surface Pros Make Fantastic iPad Stands

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 will all be worth it. [Geekwire via 9to5Mac]
