I had recently been looking at why it was that you cannot find any tools like NetStumbler for the ipad, turns out Apple specifically banned such apps from their store in 2010. As a pure IT tool, he ipad just isn't worth it. Probably the same can be said for the Rt version of Surface? I don't know. Thing is, I don't see why anybody would waste time on the W8 RT, just wait for the Pro device, if you are a professional in IT at least, then you can run whatever a desktop can run.
