f your fall tech event calendar was already a little full with Apple Inc. and Google shindigs, you might have to make room for one more -- from Microsoft Corp.
On Oct 2. in New York, Microsoft will unveil new hardware and software for the company’s Surface devices aimed at helping people with work and home tasks.
There won’t be a Surface phone or a whole new category of device, but rather updated models in existing lines, which currently include tablets and laptops, according to a person familiar with the company’s plans.

Apple holds its own event to introduce new iPhones Sept. 12 and Google will take the stage Oct 9.
