INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
How eager are you to see a Surface-branded phone make its way to the market Eager enough to sign a petition A group of Microsoft fans want
to put pressure on the tech giant to bring out a Surface that fits in your pocket, so much so that they've created an online petition to
collect names.With 3,000 signatures and rising at the time of writing, the petition seems to be attracting a fair amount of interest, though
whether it's enough to turn heads and change engineering plans at Microsoft remains to be seen
It probably can't hurt."I myself wouldn't mind paying between $799-$999 for this phone if it happened and looked like the pictures that we
have seen from those leaks," says petition starter Zachary Hinski, saying that "money is power" and Microsoft will be "forced into action"
if the petition manages to get gather enough momentum online.The long history of the Surface PhoneOf course rumors about a Surface Phone
have been floating around the tech world for years now, but we still don't know if it's actually a real device
We've seen hints in the code for Windows 10, concept images mocked up on the web, and patents filed by Microsoft pointing to the existence
of such a device.The decline and fall of Windows Phone seemed to have put paid to the chances of getting a Microsoft-made smartphone, but
then the company started bringing out a rather nice line of Surface hardware so it seemed like a mobile might be back on the cards.Most
recently, we've heard rumors that Microsoft wants to build something that's half smartphone, half tablet computer, powered by a new
operating system in development called Andromeda
remains to be seen.Via The Next Web
