Microsoft Surface 1

Microsoft's Surface experimental touch interface was on display at CES and the hordes of gawkers made it hard to get up close. The company was demoing working with photos and drawing using the Surface UI, which could be integrated into a table or placed on a wall. When will consumers actually see such technology? Not anytime soon.

This IS VERY COOL!!
AND if Microsoft would like to hit a MAJOR home run like Apple did with the i-phone (an off-shoot of this same technology), they should and could come up with a releasable consumer product this year at a reasonable cost.
I've played and worked with this technology for over a year and it's very doable!
This IS the future of informational/interactive displays for both commercial and home use!
DO IT MICROSOFT!!!
