Surface RT is already on the market, but everybody is now waiting for the Surface Pro, the first tablet in the world that’ll run Windows 8 Pro and legacy Windows apps.

Microsoft is yet to disclose the official launch date of the tablet, but according to an online contest, the device could see daylight in January 2013.

Logos Bible Software is launching an online sweepstake to offer a Surface Pro to one of those getting its Platinum Logos 5 package. While this is quite good news for their consumers, there’s some interesting information hiding in the sweepstake's official rules.

“Win a Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro and Logos 5! Prize will be delivered after Jan. 1, 2013, 8 a.m. (UTC),” it’s mentioned in the official rules, which means that Microsoft’s Surface Pro could actually see daylight sometimes in January.

Don't get too excited. Their sweepstakes ends about December 31, so delivery would have to be after that..."after Jan. 1, 2013." However, Microsoft always maintained that the Pro would come about 3 months after the RT, which means about Jan. 26 plus/minus a little.

After January 1, 2013 means absolutely nothing. We all know it will be released after Jan 1.
