Microsoft set to launch Surface 2 on September 23 as per press invitations

Microsoft is going to launch new Surface tablets on September 23 in New York City. Almost a year since Redmond dove headfirst into its first in-house tablets, the company is set to deliver the refreshed version of its discounted tablet. What's on the docket for Surface 2? Adjustable kickstands, a Tegra 4 processor, 1080p HD screen, thinner and lighter form factor and  Windows 8.1. The "RT" tag will also get deleted for version 2.0. 

The Surface Pro will likely rock an Intel Haswell processor for longer battery life and a new Power Cover to offer additional battery life.

Continuing on the gold theme bandwagon. Apple's Senior VP of Design Jony Ive has joined forces with his old buddy Bono and industrial designer Mike Newson to produce limited edition pieces for charity. Ive and Newson collaborated on 18k rose gold Apple EarBuds as well as other delectable rarities including a Leica rangefinder camera, a Steinway & Sons Parlor Grand Piano, a Range Rover, and a Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos "561" clock which all received makeovers from the design duo. The pieces will be part of a 40-item auction for Bono's Product (RED) charity which hopes to benefit The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. Would those EarBuds match an upcoming iPhone? We'll find out tomorrow as we cover the Apple Announcement live from Cupertino.
