An Interesting Microsoft Product

Microsoft just announced a new "coffee-table" PC called "Surface" - that is an actual coffee table. The table top is a screen that is touch sensitive and also responds to bar codes on products. It seems that T-Mobile likes them enough to order some for their retail stores - at between $5000 and $10,000 per table. Microsoft will have a limited number of software applications to go with the table.

Here's an article that also has some embedded videos of the table in use:
