Leak: "Xbox Surface" gets detailed
The timing is interesting as Microsoft has a "major announcement" planned for later today where they could possibly show off a new tablet designed and developed by Microsoft. If the above information is true, this could be our best look yet at Microsoft's tablet strategy, that is if this product is the one that makes it to retail. Depending on the age of this information, products go through many revision cycles before hitting store shelves, so don't be surprised if we see a variation of the product described above.
Microsoft's event will kick off later this evening where it has the tech community in a fluster over what it will actually be announcing. While speculation has been all over the board, Microsoft has done a bang up job getting people talking about the announcement as we all try to take educated guesses as to what will be shown off.
