Microsoft Surface is finaly available

The Microsoft Surface was officially launched yesterday in five shops AT&T. For those who have never heard of this “table” of the firm of Redmond, it is a large touch screen wrapped with sensors and able to recognize objects such as telephones, when they are raised above even communicate with each other via Bluetooth.

Gizmodo has just released a video of the trial of one of those famous tables. The least we can say is that the potential for this device is enormous because the ease of use is the dispute to the interaction between components. The touch is very far from having achieved its potential. A potential now partly operated by AT & T for customers manipulate models, options, packages in a natural way of their fingertips.

My favorite part of the Surface is that it has lots of touch points; one person can zoom in on an object while another person flicks a different object. At one point, we had 30 fingers on the table, and they were all registering. The ability to collaborate in a physical way (group painting or photo sharing come to mind) will definitely be a big draw. Inevitable comparisons to the iPhone—curiously unavailable to place on the table—are warranted: It's basically the same feel, but 10x bigger.

Don't expect this to replace AT&T reps just yet, as purchasing still can't be done directly on the Surface. Still, it's definitely one cool tool that we look forward to seeing in other arenas. It's at five AT&T locations starting today (two in NYC, one each in San Fransisco, San Antonio, and Atlanta), and it will be in 12 stores by next month.
