Microsoft Surface
Microsoft’s big announcement today? The Microsoft Surface: a high tech, touch interface computer. The Surface has a 30 inch screen, and Microsoft feels that this device will soon aid easier transactions through out society. For example, at a restaurant, you can order, pay (even with multiple credit cards), and calculate a tip via the surface. At home, you’re able to use the Surface for photo display, photo editing, and interactions with cell phones and media players. The Surface aims to make computing simpler, and more tactile, and connect users through natural hand gestures. With the hefty $10,000 price tag, the Surface is likely to be found only at restaurants, hotels, and casinos, but perhaps with future models, the price point will drop.
