Microsoft Surface
It’s no secret that I’m an Apple fan but today I saw a video of a new Microsoft product that really made me go wow. The Microsoft Surface product is where advance technology and dreams get together to surprise the industry. Of course that touch sensitive technology it’s been among us for a while, but the application of it has been kind of slow. The new touch sensitive surfaces from Microsoft takes computing to a new level, letting you share pictures, place orders at places like hotels, bars, restaurants, etc. I can just imagine me sitting at Starbucks ordering my vanilla latte and paying for it from my table and waiting for my name to be called to pick it up at the counter.
Some time ego this technology was show off on a video from YouTube, unfortunately I can’t find that video anymore. Also, the new iPhone from Apple share functionality similar to this new system from Microsoft . I went to the website were Microsoft is showing off this new product and I was impressed with the design, of the website. Also the Surface product was impressive, while there’s not much information information the three videos available are good examples of what the product can do. After seeing all these I went Digg.com to search for videos and guess what, the couple of videos available shows a Surface product kind of skippy and not looking as good as the demo from Microsoft .
The rumor from a Popular Mechanic video is that the product will be around $10,000 to $15,000 and will initially available only to business partners. While I’m dying to play with one, with that price tag I’m getting mines in 10 years or when I hit the lottery whichever comes first. So get involve, what do you think? Leave your comments over this post or at the Digg.com post. I would like to see a similar product from Apple, for now I’ll play with the iPhone . Thanks.
