The Queue: Feel free to touch

Microsoft 'surfaces' touch screen computer, iTunes fortifies with DRM-free music, Google's street view paparazzi, a quick quiz on keeping our cell phones longer, plus a site that converts docs to PDFs for free through e-mail.


HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GREAT DAY...I'M RICH DEMURO WITH CNET TV AND YOU ARE IN THE QUEUE - ALL THE TECH NEWS WE CAN FIT INTO A YOUTUBE ATTENTION SPAN.
LET'S GET YOU STARTED WITH YOUR MUST SEE MOMENT!

A NEW TABLE TOP COMPUTER FROM MICROSOFT THAT RESPONDS TO TOUCH...
THE 30 INCH DISPLAY DOES WITHOUT A MOUSE OR KEYBOARD...BUT GOES WAY BEYOND YOUR STANDARD TOUCH SCREEN...
USE YOUR HANDS TO FINGER PAINT OR MANIPULATE PHOTOS, DOCUMENTS OR ANYTHING ELSE.
HOTELS, CASINOS AND RETAIL STORES WILL BE THE FIRST TO GET THEIR HANDS ON SURFACE.

DIET COKE ADDS VITAMINS AND CALLS IT PLUS...
NOW APPLE HAS DRM FREE TRACKS FOR SALE IN ITUNES PLUS.
THE COPY-PROTECTION SECTION OF ITUNES NOW LIVE...
OFFERING SONGS FROM THE RECORD LABEL EMI FOR A BUCK 29 PER TRACK...
THAT'S 30 CENTS MORE THAN STANDARD SONGS BUT YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH THEM - THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS ON HOW MANY COMPUTERS OR PLAYERS YOU PUT THEM ON...OR HOW MANY CD'S YOU CAN BURN.
CLICK OVER TO THE SITE AND ITUNES WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF YOUR TRACKS CAN BE SET DRM-FREE AND HOW MUCH IT WILL COST YOU.

GOOGLE IS PICKING UP WHERE A9 LEFT OFF AND ADDING AWESOME STREET VIEWS TO IT'S MAPS.
THE NEW FEATURE GIVES YOU 360 DEGREE VIEWS OF STREETS IN VARIOUS CITIES, INCLUDING NEW YORK, SAN FRAN, LAS VEGAS, DENVER AND MIAMI...
THE IMAGES SUPPLIED BY A COMPANY CALLED IMMERSIVE MEDIA...
HOW DO THEY GET THE UBER-COOL IMAGES?
A SPECIAL CAR-TOP CAMERA CAPTURES 11 HIGH RESOLUTION VIDEO STREAMS AT ONCE...
SITCHING THEM TOGETHER FOR A 360 DEGREE VIEW...
THE DATA IS THEN CODED WITH GPS COORDINATES.
SO FAR THE COMPANY HAS CAPTURED 40-THOUSAND MILES.

WE'RE KEEPING OUR CELL PHONES LONGER THESE DAYS...MAYBE BECAUSE WE LIKE THEM OR WE JUST DON'T WANT TO SHELL OUT FOR A NEW MODEL...
WHICH BRINGS US TO OUR QUICK QUIZ
ABOUT HOW LONG ARE CUSTOMERS KEEPING THEIR MOBILE HANDSETS?
IS IT
15 AND A HALF MONTHS
16 AND A HALF MONTHS
17 AND A HALF MONTHS
OR 18 AND A HALF MONTHS
IF YOU SAID 17 AND A HALF MONTHS...THAT'S RIGHT!
ACCORDING TO J-D POWER AND ASSOCIATES, WE'RE HOLDING ON TO THEM 5 PERCENT LONGER THAN LAST YEAR...MAINLY BECAUSE OUR CONTRACTS ARE GETTING LONGER.
MOTOROLA AND SANYO TIED FOR TOP CELL PHONE SATISFACTION.

FINALLY - THE BETA...
SURE, THERE ARE LOTS OF WAYS TO CONVERT THAT WORD DOCUMENT INTO A PDF...BUT KOOLWIRE MAKES THE TASK AS EASY AS SENDING AN EMAIL.
JUST ATTACH YOUR FILE TO AN EMAIL AND SEND IT TO KOOLWIRE...AND GET ON WITH YOUR WORK DAY...
A FEW SECONDS LATER YOUR PDF IS EMAILED RIGHT BACK TO YOU...READY TO GO.
KOOLWIRE DOESN'T ADD ANY WATERMARKS OR SOMETHING ELSE YOU WOULDN'T WANT ON YOUR RESUME...
IT HANDLES WORD, POWERPOINT, EXCEL, RICH TEXT, JPEG'S AND GIFS...

NOTHING TO BUY, DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL?
THAT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE ME A CONVERT.
CONSIDER YOURSELF ALL QUEUED UP...
