New Table-Top "Surface" Computing

If you’re in the market for a new coffee table or a
really neat gadget
… or both … check out the brand new Microsoft Surface. This piece of “digital furniture” boasts a
30-inch screen embedded in an acrylic tabletop
, and it’s controlled simply by touching the display.
The Surface has incorporated a few unique touches that Microsoft hopes will turn it into a multibillion-dollar category:
It allows you to sort through photos, music and more the way you would in everyday life -- with your hands.
You can download photos and video clips simply by setting a digital camera with Wi-Fi capabilities on the display, and touching a button.
The touch-screen can handle multiple touches at the same time, so several people can use it at once.
The Surface can read bar codes, membership cards and more.
The first uses for the Surface will be commercial, but Microsoft envisions it one day being a household item on everything from
tabletops and counters to the hallway mirror
.
If you want a first-hand account of how the Surface works, Gizmodo.com has a
video of Bill Gates "showing off his fancy new table."
Technology
just keeps getting better and better!
