Microsoft Unveils Surface Tablet

Microsoft unveiled Microsoft Surface in Los Angeles, a new family of tablet computers. “We designed this organically, like a book” explained one of the designers yesterday. The price and release date for these new devices were not revealed.

The cover of the Surface also doubles as a touchpad keyboard with a mousepad. When the designers revealed the snap-on keyboard, the audience of tech journalists cheered. The tablet contains a hinged kickstand on the back that allows it to stand up like a television or PC.

One model runs with Windows RT, Microsoft’s operating system for mobile devices.
