http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/10/surface-1351270519.jpg It’s still a bit light on specifics, but Microsoft announced today that it’s increased production of the Surface with Windows RT and is planning to expand its retail presence beyond Microsoft Stores “as early as mid-December.” That retail availability will initially be limited to the United States and Australia, with availability in additional countries promised in the “coming months.” Unfortunately, there’s no word on specific stores just yet. In a statement, Microsoft’s Steve Schueler says that "our plan has been to expand the retail presence for Surface after the first of the year,’ but added that “based on interest from retailers, we are giving them the option to carry Surface with Windows RT even earlier.” If those locations don’t cover you, Microsoft’s also announced that it will be extending its current holiday stores into the new year, with those transitioning into “either permanent brick-and-mortar retail outlets or specialty store locations.” As before, the tablet starts at $499, with the Touch and Type Covers sold separately.
