If you're the type that
knows a bargain when you see one, hopefully you took advantage of a big
boo boo made earlier on Friday by Amazon. The online retailer had a
listing for the
Microsoft Surface Touch Cover. This is the 3mm thick cover for Microsoft's new slate that also doubles as a
touch sensitive QWERTY keyboard.
Normally listed on sale for $119.99, Amazon had posted a price of
$19.99 for the Touch Cover. The product was out of stock, but Amazon was
still accepting orders for those who don't mind waiting for the
retailer's inventory to be replenished. With the $19.99 price believed
to be a typo, it is unclear whether or not Amazon will honor the orders
placed at the lower price.

The
Microsoft Surface
does have a virtual QWERTY keyboard, but the Touch Cover and the Type
Cover are both available as accessories. As we pointed out, the former
is a cover with a touch sensitive QWERTY keyboard while the latter is a
cover that doubles as a traditional QWERTY keyboard with
raised keys.
Botjh connect to the tablet with the use of a magnetic dock. Even
though most people are used to the style of the keyboard on the Type
Cover, many are saying that the typing experience is superior on the
cheaper Touch Cover.
Later on Friday, Amazon took down the price
of the listing, replacing it with a message that it would notify those
who leave their email address when the cover is back in stock.
