Miscrosoft has revealed a tablet entitled Surface, to challenge the mighty Apple’s iPad. At an exclusive event in Los Angeles, the big M showed off Surface, which will come in two forms, one running on Windows 8 and the other on Windows RT. Whilst no pricing details or exact launch dates are available, it’s at least being suggested to be released at some point in the Fall.
The tablet will come with a magnetic cover that, when opened up, will also serve as a keypad which itself will come in a variety of colors. It’ll also sport a 10.6 inch screen, a USB port and a stand.
