The unveiling of the Touch Cover was perhaps the most intriguing bit of the Microsoft Surface tablet event in California on Monday evening, and the single feature of the Surface that most clearly differentiates it from Apple's dominant iPad.
The Touch Cover is a QWERTY keyboard for the Surface tablet that is integrated into the back case of the tablet itself. Just three millimeters thick, you can fold the keyboard under the tablet and use it to type on your tablet; that back cover also features a "kickstand" that allows you to stand the tablet for easy use on a flat surface. The Touch Cover attaches to the tablet via a magnetic connector, which Microsoft says forms "a natural spine like you find on a book, and works as a protective cover." At the event, a Microsoft engineer said that an accelerometer is built into the keyboard that can sense when the keyboard is active and when it has been folded behind the tablet, to avoid accidental keystrokes.
The Touch Cover will come in five different colors, including hot pink, below:
