Microsoft has just announced that US and Canadian customers now buying a Surface RT tablet would be provided with a free touch or type cover.

The new promo begins today and will be available “for a limited time,” the company said in a blog post published today.

“We are excited to announce a special offer for those of you in Canada and the United States. For a limited time beginning May 31st, receive a free Touch Cover, Touch Cover Limited Edition, or Type Cover with the purchase of a Surface RT,” Microsoft noted.

At the same time, the company is launching the Surface RT and the Pro in some other countries around the world, planning to expand international availability of the two models ahead of the public debut of the next-generation Surface.
