    Just takes ages to load - does look impressive though
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    It does look most impressive.

    However i can see the reality being that when you put down your phone on the surface, an hour glass will sit twirling around for 30 seconds before popping up "Device not recognised".

    You put your drink down on it, and it lags for 10 or so seconds before itlaunches some photo application, you pick up your drink and it pops up fatal memory error and it's :wave:

    Would be great for bukkake sessions with your favourite porn pics ... :lol:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    lol teagan!

    It's not exactly new, just first people
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Well it seems cool but its initial sale price is $5000-$10,000 depending on where its selling from and probably specs.

    i love the idea of multi touch devices built into everyday life such as tables and wall (go digital wallpaper!) its just cool.

    Too much information about your internet activities me thinks. I'm just going to think "eeeewwww" every time you are on the boards because I will have this image of you Alt/Tab to "other" sites while posting here...

    Hi Coolme,

    That is -very- unusual site design for Microsoft, but I love it! As for the product that MS are demonstrating, I'm not so sure, although it is definitely a fresh idea! It reminds me of Etch-A-Sketch™, crossed with a graphical tablet.

    I've seen videos of touch screens with the ability to sense multiple touched points long before, and they were not microsoft...
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Ok, I let it load for ages, and still nothing....

    Maybe it's a ruse by MS to not let mac users see what kind of new toy they're making.... :chin:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    but microsoft have the money and marketing to let everyone know about it :P

    I only found out about that when bill pulled me side ;)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Ah, they'd be scared Apple will make a more stylish version of it, one that'll engage you in witty banter while your iTunes library plays along in the background, rather than one that show you nice swirly patterns and then come up with a 'fatal error'.

    I'm making all this up. I have no idea what MS Surface even does....

    Actually, I learnt the word 'bukkake' on this discussion site. I was sooooo innocent before becoming a member. :p
