The company is planning more integration between Windows and Windows Phone with a future 8.1 update planned for early 2014 for phones. With 7- and 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablets launching on October 18th alongside Nokia's 6-inch Windows Phone, it's clear Microsoft is reaching a point where it needs to start merging both operating systems even more closely. The company has long promised "three screens and a cloud," with the idea that the software powering devices would become a lot more common and similar.
Microsoft is forming to look at opportunities for the Windows software to power new hardware. All Things D claims one such possibility is a focus on wearable computing for that unit. A "Surface Watch" has been previously rumored, with the Xbox team testing variations of the smartwatch with a Surface power connector.
