We were quite pleased when Microsoft announced their long awaited Windows 8 tablet, the Surface, back in June. But one thing that was missing was the price, and today this secret information has finally been revealed (surprisingly, Microsoft has already pulled the page a few minutes after publishing it). Powered by a Windows RT operating system and equipped with a stunning 10.6-inch display, the new tablets will go on sale on October 26th, starting at $499 for the basic 32GB configuration without Touch Cover, and up to $699 for  the 64GB version with a Touch Cover keyboard bundled in the box.

Though Microsoft has since taken the page down, the original product listing revealed that pre-orders will start soon, with Touch Cover prices set to run at $119, and Type Cover for $129.99, independently.

Hop past the break for the “secret” webpage screenshot.

Update: Looks like Microsoft has officially confirmed the prices above, with additional info about specs and shipping dates. Apparently, the Surface will be available for purchase “at all Microsoft Store locations” in the United States and Canada, while online orders to start at the very same date in 8 different countries, including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and the United States.
