I suspect that they will get few takers unless they get loads of iPad 1's ;)

I like the idea of MS collecting the iPads and... blending them? Throwing them into a volcano?

I imagine the reaction being something like this, but with iPads

Piling them up outside the windows of the Surface team's office.

They might be using them to see what makes the iPad so much better than the Surface. ;)

Longer term I want there to be a decent tablet from Microsoft so that there is decent competition out there. I do not see the android devices offering that yet. Price maybe but overall experience is still much better with iOS.

Microsoft now wants your iPhone, Android devices for trade-in program

It's the electronic equivalent of cash for gold.

It is a way of getting their devices in the public hands and getting some form of traction.

Microsoft did a similar thing with iPods a while back. It was their attempt to get their staff to use Zunes instead. They had an iPod amnesty bin.

Seemingly, it went well. :lol:
