The Windows 8 launch is just ten days away and Microsoft has already aired its first advertisement for its Surface tablet. Apart from the Surface Pro 2, Microsoft has also announced another tablet, the Surface 2; a follow-up to the last year's Surface RT. Now coming in a silver color variant, the Surface 2 packs a much improved 10.6-inch 1080p ClearType HD display. Also, just like the Surface Pro 2, the Surface 2 looks the same on the outside; the Windows logo on the back is now gone, and the word ‘Surface‘ takes its place. They showed off Skype, Xbox Music, Office & SkyDrive - in which you get a lot of those when you purchase a Surface 2 (200GB SkyDrive storage for 2 years, Best Of Skype for 1 year & etc). The Surface 2 will retail for $449 (Php19,500 converted), and along with the Surface Pro 2, it will be available on October 22 in the US. Over at New York City, Microsoft has announced the successor to its flagship tablet from last year, the 2nd-gen Microsoft Surface Pro. The 2nd-gen MS Surface tablets basically look the same on the outside, wrapped around in Microsoft's magnesium casing.
