Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 tablets now available in 21 countries

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget....-2_620x340.jpgThe Nokia Lumia 2520 isn't the only high-profile Windows tablet launching today. As promised, Microsoft has released the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 in the US and 20 other countries at respective starting prices of $449 and $899. A handful of accessories are also available alongside the slates, including the backlit Touch Cover 2 and Type Cover 2 keyboards ($120 and $130), a Wireless Adapter for Typing Covers ($60) and the Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition ($70). The Docking Station and Power Cover aren't expected to ship until early 2014, when they'll cost $200 each; the USB car charger arrives at the same time for $50. Most other countries will have to go Surface-free for the time being, although Microsoft will ship its new Surface models to mainland China in early November.
