I have been rolling in fanboism for the past week with my new 5S. Ridiculously fast, perfect size, the "TouchID" thing is pretty neat, the new parallax effects of iOS7 work really well with the new device, and the battery life is out of this world. I don't charge it overnight anymore. ~20 minutes in the car twice a day is enough to keep it between 70-100% for the rest of the day and night.
I'm starting to think about a replacement for my iPad 2, it's starting to run a bit slow and one edge of the screen is a little messed up because I got it wet last summer. I might go for the new iPad and get a nice keyboard case so it's a little more convenient for emailing and foruming, but I'm also intrigued by the Surface 2.
I want something that I could use as a tablet, but also sit on the couch with a keyboard. The Surface looks like it would only really work on a table.
Lenovo Yoga is a pretty amazing multi-use touchscreen device, but thats pushing the budget into another league. The surface 2 has a normal 'hard' keyboard that should work in a lap.
The new Asus Transformer (TF701 IIRC?) might be something to check out too. There is a microsoft store in tysons where they have this stuff to play with.
