Hi Aaron,
So, WE 8 will install on the MS Surface tablets, but I seem to recall some statements that support for touch gestures will not be out of the box in WE 8, but rather will be added later. Am I correct in my recollection? This would mean that full access to the Surface functionality will take a bit of time. Still, I think it is great that there will be any accessibility on these tablets from the release of WE 8. I was watching for the new, smaller iPad model, but given what has been revealed about the Surface so far, I am leaning more and more in that direction, assuming that the models of the Surface turn out to be as advertised.

It's certainly something we're interested in, and we do recognize the importance of the growing mobile market. But I don't know of any specific plans at the moment. Window-Eyes will install on any Windows 8 running on an Intel platform, so it will work the new Intel tablets. ARM processor support, however, isn't available. But, we always like to keep our options open, so who knows what will happen in the future.
