Meet Microsoft Surface!

So, everyone overslept the announcement, but this is nothing, if that - he is here!
Update! Video inside!

And what did we get? Formerly known as Project Milan, a touch sensitive surface that I wrote about earlier. Microsoft is positioning this business as a new word in technology, calling it the surface computer ("computer surface" or "surface computer"?)
')
This new interface has been developed for five years. What were these works spent on?
I think you will understand if you remember the speech of Steve Jobs and the presentation of the iPhone. Remember? Now increase the iPhone screen to 30 inches and drop about $ 9,500 to its price. Voila - Microsoft Surface is ready!


Yes Yes. You heard right - $ 10,000 dollars apiece. Of course, Microsoft promises to reduce the price at times in the next 5 years, and now in some 2012 you can enjoy this toy with the whole family! In the meantime, you can drool in the hotels of Harra and Sheraton, as well as in stores T-Mobile. (About deliveries to Euroset near your metro is not reported yet)

But there is something to see there! And even touch something. For example, how do you like this idea - to dip your finger in a virtual gouache and draw directly with your fingers on the table? Yes, multi-touch is supported. And yes, you no longer have to wash children and furniture from paint.

To be honest, the FAQ made me depressed. Solid "first in the world" and "changes the very essence." Interested - here is the link. There is a text in a light blue frame, you will not miss.

The rest just show a few photos.

General form.


It seems like a multi-touch.


Really nice menu from Microsoft? (The glass on the left is real.)


iPhone Map (Microsoft version)


Mysterious image, whose sacral essence, I can not comprehend.


The only guess for the last slide is the inline game. Two put their phones on the Surface, and the RFID identifies the model. Who is the cooler model and won.

Update. And here is the video!


After watching it, questions appeared. Why photos from the camera, transferred to the PDA, disappear from the display? Did they stay in the cell? How does such an interface graphically implement file copying? And the removal?

Why at the end did a man pay for one plate with his card, and then quietly throw off a cake on a credit card of the second?

PS Microsoft is still disappointed. Stevie, time to kick some ass.
