Microsoft may be working on iPad Touch Cover

A listing in a download page for documentation related to lithium batteries has sparked speculation that Microsoft may be working on an iPad Touch Cover, bgr.com reported.

According to bgr.com, the website, www.webfuture.de noted a surprising listing on the page on Microsoft's website that seemed to indicate that the company was working on an iPad Touch Cover.

Microsoft had, in April, uploaded a series of PDF documents related to lithium batteries, which mostly had familiar Microsoft products, such as the HoloLens, the Surface Book, the Xbox One Battery Pack and dozens of Lumia and Nokia smartphones. One item, however, stood out, ''iPad Touch Cover (Model 1719).''

According to commentators, though the related PDF file did not include any photos, mockups or sketches, it held a vital clue about the device - it will contain a small lithium battery, which implies that the case will also feature a wireless keyboard.

Meanwhile, WinFuture pointed out that, Logitech's iPad keyboard covers contain virtually the same batteries.
