Microsoft Surface in Blue and White spotted on design video

Besides the colourful touch cover and type cover, the Microsoft Surface tablet adopts Henry Ford’s strategy – any colour as long as it is black.

Sharp-eyed reader Randy however noticed this altogether more colourful version in the background, looking like a blue device with a white rim.

Now of course this picture may simply be of a rapid prototype, but that kick stand probably does not work very well if made out of plastic, suggesting we may be looking at potential colour options for Surface in the future, an area where Microsoft with the Zune devices often chose to differentiate.

The scene above can be seen at around the 8 second mark in this video from the design of the tablet here.

Thanks Randy for the tip
