Well looks like he has at least giving potential users a ballpark on what the new Surface product might cost.

Ballmer was interviewed by The Seattle Times last week and said the pricing ballpark for Surface to be $300 to “$700 or maybe even $800.

Ballmer went on to say that the Surface products will be sold inside Microsoft’s fall-season pop-up stores which will be in four malls in Canada starting this fall.

In a wide ranging interview, Ballmer added Microsoft will compete against the rival iPad on features and not so much on price.

Non-Apple tablets are priced around the $400 to $500 mark.
