Zune on Microsoft Surface CES 2008

[LostEquinox]

Surface ROCKS!!!!

[noisebot1]

seems very unorganized... why would it just spit out all the playlists on top of each other...

[turtledogg]

deyum that is cool when he put the zune on the surface and it showed all the music and media on it!!

[halodude1177]

This is so cool! I'd love this for my Living Room when I get an Aprartment. Image sitting around and just sharing photo's with Camera's and Phones, and then sending Playlists over by it? Endless Possibilities. The Ability with my Mate and I to sit down and Share his Beatles collection and my Rolling Stone Collection is so awesome!

Once this goes commercial, and trust me, it'll get cheaper too, I'm definitely getting one.

[levenste001]

you know whats funny is how everyone is saying this is expensive but if apple made it this would probably cost double. lol you got to pay the extra 150 dollars on a ipod just becuase it has a gay little apple on the back. :)

[noisebot1]

@levenste001 in terms of storing large volumes of music, itunes and ipods cant be beat.. they simply have it down... ive used the zune music app... made me hate life.

[Headphoneguy92]

how come they always use 1 gen zunes for these demos?

[Dylatron47]

worng PC is ahead of mac by a long shot and I have the facts to prove it. Jullzzzz

[meezocool]

Prove it then

[Redeemed2000]

You know a computer is a personal choice, some like Macs and some PCs. I can't stand Macs myself, I hate the way they work and they feel so cheap but that's just my opinion. People act as if they actually built the things themselves! It's not like we're getting the money that Mac or Microsoft is making. LOL

[Jullzzzz]

im sure mac has beaten the pc....

[tfelbo]

omg the way the album covers turn around to see the tracks is sooo iPod Touch / iPhone rip-off.. So sad to see..

[wattapassa]

well, internet explorer has sooo been taken by mac..

[Sleepepro]

too bad surface has been in development way before the itouch was developed

[greystone227]

This still amazes me every time I see it. The speed at which it recognizes and transfers information between the player is astounding. The thing it can do with putting your credit card on it, specifying a tip, and paying for your meal at a restaurant is also amazing.

Imagine 20 years from now (or less!) when things like these are commonplace. What wonderful times we have ahead.

[ddesmoker]

Gawd, i agree 100% with you, the future kicks ass :P

[pinkstewie]

this is crazy, how could it get songs from your zune without going through the usb?

[TheFrentic]

wireless

[severick]

you can get songs into the zune wirelessly with any computer conected to a wireless lan, it is one of zunes capabilities, and it works today with any pc with wifi, not only with microdoft surface

[pinkstewie]

yeah i can do it on my pc but the songs dont go from zune to pc, thats different

[itstimmy45]

can u eat on it???i betcha u can sync music to your food...lol

[BlacksmitthProd]

lol...what if you could put your food on it and it could recognize what your eating and tell you eat healthier.

[taianejade]

O modo como se faz tranferência de arquivos é impressionante!

[taianejade]

Isso é REAL?!! ツ

[aceofsorrow]

dont they already use this technology in some restaurants? still its pretty cool

[CedWii360]

Atari invented the touch screen. Sorry wrong load of bs

[Ocarion]

How is this better then a PC with a touchscreen?

[CedWii360]

Gravity won't let you lay your devises on a vertical screen. Damn Gravity!

[vafaissokool]

I believe that the current intention for surface if for commercial use more than it is for personal.

[Tiptup300]

touchscreens read one point input at a time. These read infinite points at a time.

[salman06p0020]

This Surface is not going to be made public as yet. And this is not about MS or Apple or any other company. It is about are people going to really benefit from it.

[trl123x]

Can you Instant messege people on that thing? Can you do multiple tasks on it?

How about Photoshop or advance menus?

[CedWii360]

Yes, Yes , AND HELL YEAH, probably one of the best tools that will be used in PS. It can even reconize real life paint brushes

[rockerairsoftman]

thats one big ass ipod touch lol!

[syrus2k]

This is a good idea, however, it looks like it's been executed in a poor way. Rather than having a nice responsive touch surface, we have one that's covered in gimmicky graphics rather than focusing on usability. The other obvious problem is that it's only going to work with Zunes or other mp3 players that incorporate DRM - something that will never really catch on.

[zxzxander702]

i don't care what any of you say, but, thats pretty damn cool.

[oceanboy1993]

i cant even imagine how much radiation comes off that sucker

[Dreed122]

It wouldn't be on the market, or future market if it was deadly.

[Jamiroquai2172]

The thing about this is that every anti-microsoft person comes to realise that what microsoft does is truley amazing and tuley innovative. They dont want to accept that even though they know its true, so they fight back like the wimps they are. Microsoft is amazing, you would have to be an idot to say anything bad about Surface (or any Microsoft product).

[Densa4194]

plus no1 would be on the web if it wasent for microsoft

[fearfulSPARTAN]

god that is so true man

[williewalliewoo]

how is it true

[williewalliewoo]

yeah aside from vista, the obvious copies off other people, the crashing, yeah there decent

(ps im not an apple fanboy i just think that Microsoft shouldn't be credited for something they didnt come up with)

[nahedh]

how can u be sure that it crashes? oh yeah, it's made by microsoft.

[lightningcount123]

yup, new mac ad "crash different"

[nahedh]

lol

[jelleoelle]

He made it look very boring

[krootdude]

i like the zunue and this table is coool

[assassin202]

lol u can hook up ur zune 2 3 computers than after that u can go to guest mode so u can do it to alot more computers so idk where ur getting ur facts

[assassin202]

hmm actually the sureface was being developed before the ipod touch so get ur facts straight. hmmmmmmm apple fanyboy.

[stupidbrain1]

thats cool

[larryisfunny389]

the table looks like a ipod touch, hmmm

[Spunkyb89]

Yea cuz everything with touch sensitive capabilities is definately an ipod touch?

[larryisfunny389]

hey you never know

[zeramino]

thats stupid dude, this thing has been in work for years. so the ipod touch looks like surface, hmmm...

[realworldhk]

Apple did not even develop the touch. They just bought it from some company. Get your fact straight. hmmmmmmm apple fanboy.

[T966ER]

Your right.. Apple didn't make touch, but they made multi-touch!

[okeefe415]

a million times better than what apple can come up with in terms of home media...

[airsoftmaniac64]

if you already installed zune on one computer and connect it and you install it on another and connect it will it delete all the songs

[okeefe415]

I have a zune, and I have 3 pc's... funny, I've never had an issue like that... you must be a mac user. Thinking that PC's crash 24/7... Silly rabbit, macs are for kids.

[airsoftmaniac64]

i was asking so that never happened to you

[andyman163]

I've connected my zune to 2 computers and I've been able to keep all of my music and put new music on from both computers

can't do that with an ipod

[gohaniscool14]

thats because zune rocks

[mazegolfs]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[STMUN]

i want to go to one of those hotels now

[Cube2000]

Very interesting, though I wish the price wasn't very high for the Microsoft surface.

[NESnnn]

its the latest technology, and its awesome! of course it will be expensive, look at the PlayStation 3,Blu-ray Players, Windows Vista, iphone, etc. They're all the best and latest technology, but in time they'll go down in price.

[Cube2000]

Well those things are priced around $500 to $600. The Mircrosoft surface was confirmed to cost around $10,000, which I consider steep unlike the others you mentioned. But yea it will come down in price (eventually...).

[Soccerfreak2413]

I see jack johonsons album on there :D

[targetassassin45]

like magic!
