i have yet to see this surface thing doing sth for me that i cant possibly do without it. what a waste of money and space. it'll also make a lot of ppl unneccessarily lose their jobs.
This is basically a waste of money even if you get it free. Because it's aimed at businesses. Wtf you want that in your home for? it doesn't even look that nice imo..
my company are developing an intelli-tablet simillar to this...but it will cost 4000 dollars ^^ and it is a little better than surface from microsft! ^^
I'm pretty sure anyone with a brain can create something better than Microsoft xD. Look at Linux's Ubuntu. It rapes Windows XP & Vista. And actually gets better reviews than Windows 7. Microsoft fails alot xD
Your last sentence is exactly what linux is about... well.. not anymore, because Ubuntu 10.04 is coming out and it's beautiful.
Ubuntu is way more reliable than Windows XP. Even though windows XP is pretty sweet. Windows Vista = FAIL. so I don't even have to compare it to Ubuntu.
Windows 7 is the only one that is actually head to head with Ubuntu 9.10, lets see when 10.04 comes out..
Does it really need cameras to see what object is on the table?? that does not seem like a very effective method like something could be blocking the camera and the fact that you need to place cameras around the house doesn't sound that good either
Damn you are bright. Why don't you first end highschool, then get a degree in a officially accredited college and then apply for a Job in Microsoft, they will really appreciate your original ideas.
this thing just slaps the shit out of iphones.. apple products are completely overpriced.. this is 20 x's better than mac desktops but only about 4 x's the price.. microsoft did it again
hahahaha with what money? the damn thing costs thousands of dollars!!! lol lol! and steve from M$ thought that the iPhone cost too much when it 1st came out!!! lol
well, if they did, it would b a COMPLETE RIPP OFF of what Apple has made with the iPhone/iPOd Touch's GUI!!! with windows mobile 7, they're gonna intergate multi touch with it but it still doesnt look as cool as what the iPhone can do.
Great! Now how does it talk to a device it does not recognize? How can the content of a digital camera get down loaded?? The device must have a simple way to communicate this would most likely be inferred.
Actually no. The phones are tagged with a visual "fingerprint" - an id tag if you will (its a black background with some white dots in a pattern) that allow the cameras in the device to easily identify each phone as its placed on the device.
The BlackBerry Curve 8310 does not run on the 3G network, i wish it did, because i have one. I wonder if you can put your own cell phones on the table
will this app be available on the iPad ? LOL

Actually no. The phones are tagged with a visual "fingerprint" - an id tag if you will (its a black background with some white dots in a pattern) that allow the cameras in the device to easily identify each phone as its placed on the device.
