Microsoft develops keyboard for iOS, Android, Windows tablets

Microsoft has developed a keyboard designed for iOS, Android and Windows tablets in its latest move to underline the company's focus on providing software services.

The company plans to release the Universal Mobile Keyboard next month for $79.95.

According to a report by The Verge, the new keyboard is a lot like Logitech's K480 keyboard. Microsoft's version includes a key to switch between iOS, Android, and Windows Bluetooth modes.

The keyboard is unique in Microsoft's range of wired and wireless keyboards without the conventional Windows key.

The Universal Mobile Keyboard requires only 10 minutes of charging for a full day's use.
