Microsoft Surface RT: Touch Cover vs. Type Cover

Touch Cover vs. Type Cover: Empirical test data doesn't lie! | PCWorld



Microsoft's tablet Surface comes as 2 optional keyboars:
"real" one (type) and "flat" (touch).

After briefly trying them both,
it is confusing why did they even consider "touch cover" ($119).
"Type cover" ($129) is a very good keybard. "Touch" is barely usable.

In both cases, the price is quite high for a keyboard...
Microsoft is already selling many keyboards,
could make some real money by selling "type cover" for iPads and Androids :)
