Press release

The launch of Microsoft Surface marks the beginning of a new technology category and a user-interface revolution. Surface, Microsoft’s first surface computer, provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural hand gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface computing breaks down traditional barriers between people and technology, changing the way people interact with all kinds of everyday information — from photos to maps to menus.

Looks pretty damn cool.

Just like out of the film "The Island" where that dude in charge of the cloning facility used the desk as the interface to find all info about each clone.
I my 32GB iPhone 3GS

yes, "Multi touch screen Perceptive Pixel demo", but the guy doing that one is a New York University Professor and not related to Microsoft from the little reading I did

How useful is that "surface" when you inevitably get this?



Because then, you're just doing this, anyway:



I mean, you really want to do this, how would this work otherwise?
