Microsoft may be prepping to ship a mini version of its Surface tablets within a month, based on an Amazon.com listing for a case custom made for the device.



From Computerworld:

Based on the product description, the mini-tablet will have a headphone jack, camera, charging port and unspecified side buttons, which likely include a volume toggle and an on/off switch. The cover description doesn't list its dimensions. It is referred to as a smart cover case, but the description doesn't say what makes it smart.

The $9.99 device is made by China-based Vostrostone, which makes a variety of electronics accessories. Aki Antman (@akipekka) tweeted about the cover.
