Microsoft to Push Surface to Consumers ASAP

Posted on: February 04, 2008



Microsoft Video

If you have not seen the Microsoft Surface demo, it’s basically a table touch display computer that users can interact with. Because it’s a computer, possibilities are only limited by developers’ imagination. We love the concept.

When presented for the first time, Microsoft said that this was an early concept that might take years to become a commercial product. But now Steve Balmer (Microsoft’s CEO) says that the company wants to sell the product this year. I suspect that the initial (high) price might attract businesses rather than consumers, but it’s only a matter of time before this becomes consumer-friendly. This year seems a little optimistic for friendly pricing, in our opinion.

What would be the price point at which you would purchase this, if at all? If you hate the idea, take a look at the parody video in the full post :)
