First, it sends out the invite for the Windows 8 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/04/windows-8-launch-event-invite/) launch event and a save the date for a Windows Phone 8 party (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/04/windows-phone-8-event-oct-29/), and now it looks like one of its Surface tablets has garnered FCC approval. Dubbed the Model 1516, the device in question can't be confirmed as a Surface slate, but we do know it's running Windows RT and has a membrane keyboard peripheral thanks to the docs submitted to Uncle Sam. We also know that it's got a stand, as the FCC label will be residing on the back panel beneath it, and the radios on board are of the Bluetooth and 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi variety. Does that add up to a Surface RT tablet (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/14/microsoft-surface-199/)? We sure think so, but see the evidence for yourself at the source link below.
