Mary Jo Foley, habitual in the information on everything related to Microsoft has responded to the tweet of @ Evleaks that yesterday announced that the Redmond company had resumed production of the Surface mini for launch as early as summer. According to his account, it is true that Surface mini has a good chance of arriving, and therefore would rule out the cancellation of the project, but I would do it in 2015, just when the touch version of Office for Windows is ready.
Yesterday we informed you that @evleaks had published on its official Twitter account that Microsoft had backed down after canceling the Surface mini project a few days before, to resume production of the device in the face of a next release that would take place during the summer months. The information was surprising, since there are no symptoms that the issues that led to the cancellation of its presentation in May would have been resolved.
This is precisely the main argument that is being considered. surface mini It was already a finished product several months ago, it was ready to be exhibited before the public attending the event on May 20, but there were other reasons that led to its cancellation by the CEO Satya Nadella and his trusted people. They wanted their new tablet to have something different from the rest and that something, as noted in the hours after the Surface Pro 3 presentation ceremony, it could be the touch version of Office. This would offer some advantages in Windows on the version of the office suite that is available for iPad and the one they are preparing for Android.
Waiting for the touch version of Office
The situation regarding Office Touch for Windows it remains the same, and therefore it is highly unlikely that we will see the Surface mini in the summer. As many of you know, Microsoft's number one priority is to launch first an Android version that you are already preparing and possibly see the light before the end of the year. Therefore, the version for Windows would go to 2015, probably in the spring of next year.
Definitely, Microsoft according to the sources that Mary Jo Foley manages, normally trusted, has not lost sight of the idea of launching a 7 or 8-inch Surface, but it would not be ready to be presented and launched in a few weeks, but It will arrive sometime in 2015.
