Microsoft Surface
I just came across this tonight, it reminds me of an iphone on steroids. (http://www.microsoft.com/surface/index.html )
“About Microsoft Surface
Microsoft Surface represents a fundamental change in the way we interatct with digital content. With Surface, we can actually grab data with our hands, and move information between objects with natural gestures and touch. Surface features a 30″ tabletop display whose unique abilities allow for several people to work independently or simultaneously. All without using a mous or keyboard.”
If you havent heard about this yet (which many of you may have, I am a lil slow on getting to news) definitely go to the website and check out the movies that show in working, its really amazing what they have created.

Cool, I remember seeing a demo of it and it is pretty impressive. Has anyone seen it in real life? Wonder if it works as flawlessly as the demo.
I remember seeing either an article or TV special about it a year or so ago. It looks really neat, but I think it could be quite a while before they are affordable enough to be built into the average joe’s home in the walls and counter tops. Although, this is an amazing vision to work towards for Microsoft.
Didn’t they use something similar to this in the movie “Minority Report” a long time ago? Touch screen surface computing? Anyway, very cool.
It is too cool, and expensive to have ☺ for ordinary people
The other question is that this Surface resembles a lot the iPhone touch technology, I wonder if Microsoft purchased some rights?
