Microsoft Surface 2 ad pounds on the Apple iPad's lack of a USB port

The latest ad from Microsoft to take on the Apple iPad goes right into Apple's face, as usual. This time, Microsoft shows off the advantages of having a full-sized USB port on the Microsoft Surface 2, unlike the Apple iPad which doesn't have one. And don't forget the HDMI Out port on the Surface 2 which lets you show on your wide-screen television, whatever you have on your Surface 2 screen.

The tag line? No USB, No Thanks. If Microsoft wanted to get a little more ambitious it could have gone a little further by copying those religious bumper stickers. No USB, No Thanks. Know USB, Know Thanks.

On Monday, we gave you a look at Nokia's new ad for its Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet. The spot points out how the Nokia slate has a longer battery life than the Apple iPad Air (the Power Keyboard adds 5 hours of battery life to the 8000mAh cell inside the Nokia slab) and the Power Keyboard also allows you to type on a physical QWERTY keyboard. "Did I buy the wrong tablet?," asks an Apple iPad Air sporting young man once he spots the Nokia Lumia 2520 at work.
