iPad and the microsoft Surface

These are two pieces of touch screen technology which should push the boundaries of technology and is touch screen the future? Or is the iPad nothing more than a big iPhone and offers nothing new, and the surface nothing more than an overpriced corporate toy. Post views in the forum!
