Microsoft Surface: The Coolest Table You’ll Never Use
Microsoft today released something very unexpected, a touch sensitive table, AKA Microsoft Surface. The Microsoft Surface, after watching the videos, is capable of doing anything on earth. You can order your favorite dessert or transfer money to your credit card, which sounds incredibly safe on something that hotels and stores will supposedly be using. The idea of the interactive table isn’t a new one, but now that Microsoft has taken control of the idea it sounds more* reachable.
Now, don’t get me wrong about the table, it’s one of the coolest pieces of furniture I have ever seen, but is it truly realistic? These tables will in no way will be cheap ($10,000 range) and will close out any middle class household who might even think about purchasing one. The table, if ever made, will be for the wealthy people of the world (ie Bill Gates…he probably already has one) and will never become as popular as the iPod or the Xbox 360. In my opinion Microsoft should ax the idea of the table for now, but bring it back in a few years when the price is more consumer friendly.
On one last note, it is good to see Microsoft thinking with innovation, this kind of thinking might lead to a better competition towards Apple and Nintendo, when it comes to innovation and design.
