Microsoft is reportedly planning to offer LTE connectivity option on the new low-cost tablet. It will also reportedly offer a cost-effective keyboard cover, stylus, and mouse as accessories for the tablet. This is Microsoft’s second foray into the low-cost Surface venture.

Predictably, Microsoft hasn’t acknowledged that it’s working on a low-cost Surface device yet. But the new tablet’s presence on the FCC website is proof enough that it’s coming, as products don’t usually appear there unless they’re tested and ready for launch. While there’s no word yet on when the new tablet will launch, we expect it to launch sometime in September this year.
