Oprah raves about Microsoft's Surface ? from an iPad

16 hrs.

Oprah was called out on a social media gaffe after she tweeted enthusiastically about Microsoft's Surface RT tablet ? but the tweet (first noticed by Zagg) showed that it was sent from an iPad.

It's not the end of the world, certainly, and endorsing a device for someone else's use (she said she'd already bought a dozen as gifts) isn't the same as preferring it or using it oneself. And Winfrey already put the Surface on her list of "favorite things"?for the holidays.

It's not even a sure thing that Winfrey herself tapped out the message; She could easily have dictated it to an iPad-toting assistant.

All the same, it's a funny little situation ? Hopefully, Winfrey?and her social media team will be on the watch for other endorsement cross-talk like this from now on.

Was the Surface one of our favorite things? Watch our video review below.
