Microsoft surface, a new feature for Vienna / Windows 7 tablet?
Hi guys
I just found this: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/
First off, I think it looks pretty cool. They show it as being a table, but I'm thinking, mabey they will put something in like this in Windows vienna tablet edition. So, what do you think? Since tablets have touch screens, it might be a nice feature to have.
So, what are your thoughts on it?
Cheers,
Matt

Cooooooooooooool! if that so, it may be the easiest interface in history of computing.
I wonder if the Microsoft can do this also in desktop PC's, alternative to mouse.

I sure think they can. The only thing is that that would require a touch screen to be used properly, which few people have. But then again, that is progress.
I sure think that would be a pretty cool feature.

Well I see Microsoft trying to push new technology. And I think in this case they are doing a very good job. I think if thay can make this work it will be very cool.

Microsoft Surface also detects objects you put on top of it; like Zune players that you can sync by just dragging album arts and share also with other zune or wireless devices, even you can compare gadgets and I saw fancy effects when you put glass of beverages on top of it.
Really cool! huh... :)

I like the idea of using Bluetooth with digital cameras and camera phones. Transfer wirelessly is where it should be at.

It might also be Wireless USB, which should comming out very soon. In the case of the Zune, I imagine it's wifi, as the Zune uses wifi.
But this is sure a cool technology from Microsoft. :)
