Not really as the MS Surface uses camera's to identify objects and you can manipulate multiple areas of the surface simultaneously as the with the iPad you are limited to one object at a time.

I think that the surface would work with all existing wireless, bluetooth devices as to have to have a special surface enabled device to work with it would definately hurt market penetration.
