Microsoft Surface Tablet Gets a Release Date

Microsoft has confirmed today via an annual report that their tablet, the Microsoft Surface, will be launching alongside Windows 8 this October. This is Microsoft's answer to the iPad, and will support SmartGlass and will reportedly have some sort of functionality with Halo 4 and other Xbox 360 games. 

 

"The next version of our operating system, Windows 8, will be generally available on October 26, 2012," Microsoft's annual report reads. "At that time, we will begin selling the Surface, a series of Microsoft-designed and manufactured hardware devices."

 

For now, the October 26th date is only for the Surface model that has an ARM processor, not the higher end one with an Intel processor. Neither model has a price attached yet, but October's right around the bend so a price tag can't be too far off. 

 

What do you think about the Microsoft Surface so far?

"Microsoft has confirmed today via an annual report..."

False, even your source posted it yesterday. However the document in question was widely available a few days ago.

I wonder if Surface will be able to run Windows Phone 8 apps?

If someone manages to make dual boot Windows 8 and Android my wallet would ignite with the speed I take the money out to buy it, but by the time that's done there'll be something cheaper and better so I'll wait.
