Microsoft has once again redeemed a valuable deal with the National Football League; a deal that will oversee a hike in demand for the next generation of Microsoft Surface Pro Tablets. In the stipulated agreement, NFL referees will be using the all-new Microsoft Surface Pro 3 in testing football replays in all subsequent matches.

This revelation by the Associated Press doesn't come as surprise to Tech Analysts since the device that NFL was using previously before this announcement was also a Microsoft-made device. As Digital Trends published, NFL referees were initially working with Microsoft Surface Pro 2 tablets to analyse replays for their games, but will now be working with the Microsoft Surface Pro 3.

This is in line with Microsoft's $400 Million pact with NFL that is meant to last for at least five years. Well, people might be wondering why Microsoft would have an interest in supplying Microsoft Surface Pro 3 tablets for petty uses (like tracking Replays) in football matches.If a market strategist was to explain this, then certainly everyone would understand that even the tiniest incorporation of Microsoft devices into a football match, would mean some rocketing in sales of the tablets.

So it's not just about the replays, it's a marketing strategy by Microsoft. All the same, through these replay tests, people will be able to understand the potentialities under the hood of this new Microsoft Surface Tablet. According to Geekwire, the only weakness of the Surface Pro 3 Tablet in football uses is the fact that it lacks an inbuilt PSI sensor.

NFL officials cited the advantages of using these Microsoft tablets in football matches, saying that they would save referees a hell lot of trouble. Instead of pausing matches for foul plays to be reviewed, an NFL staffer carrying the Surface Pro 3 and a bunch of wireless radios will have a real view of what ensued between players.This means that fouls will be detected much accurately and almost in real time. NFL becomes one of the very many renowned sporting agencies that are trying to incorporate new technology into the gaming arena.
