So there are tons of rumors about the surface one being no 3/4G which I wrote about yesterday. Today let’s talk price. Unwired is speculating that the surface tablets will be over $599. Now let’s not forget if these don’t come with 3/4G that could be a bit pricey for the starter tablet. Based in Microsoft stating the Surface’s second model named the RT will be more of a PC I could see that being maybe $749/799. If that is the case most have speculated the starter model would be $100 less. So around $649/699. I think these prices could be risky if they don’t have mobile carriers included in the tablet. Microsoft has always had trouble with mobile devices starting with the Zune. Now granted they haven’t made hardware on the phone side yet but the Nokia Windows phones have not done well against the androids and the iPhones of the world. So Microsoft really has to make this one count to break the very poor track record they have of poor showing in the mobile markets.
