Microsoft’s New Surface Touch Computing
By George Huff
I’ve been a big fan of Jeff Han and his Multitouch technology videos since they started appearing on YouTube. Apparently Microsoft has been too, or at least has been developing their new computing platform in conjunction with Jeff Han. Part of me says, “oh cool!”, yet part of me is skeptical that Microsoft will somehow botch this.
I didn’t see a date to start selling these, just a price. It could be vaporware for all we know. Apple is on the eve of dropping the first real multitouch screen device on the market, and this could be Microsoft’s attempt at stealing some thunder. It’s not like we haven’t seen this strategy before. Either way, the concepts behind the device are cool, I just wish their end user was the consumer, and not the retailer.
There have been rumors of Apple switching all of their displays to MultiTouch technology, we will see when Leopard comes out if their is any truth to it. If there is, this is another product that turns into a yawn, but if not, way to go Microsoft.
