Well this morning we got what was apparently an unexpected sneak peek at the long awaited pricing of the Microsoft Surface RT tablet which becomes available on 26 October and now Microsoft has confirmed that pricing with a pre-order press release.

Surface delivers the power of amazing software and the feel of premium hardware in one exciting experience. Originally unveiled in June, Surface with Windows RT will initially be available in three SKUs: a 32GB version priced at US$499, a 32GB version bundled with a black Touch Cover priced at US$599, and a 64GB version bundled with a black Touch Cover priced at US$699.

A variety of accessories will also be available, including Touch Covers in five vibrant colors — black, white, magenta, cyan and red — priced at US$119.99 so customers can express their personal style (1). Customers will also have the option to purchase a Type Cover in black for US$129.99, which adds moving keys for a more traditional typing feel.

The pre-order process will be available at http://Surface.com

The official announcement also revealed that the Surface will be available for purchase beginning on the 26th of this month not only in the US but also in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom.
