AT&T will become the first company in the world to bring Microsoft Surface to life in a retail environment, giving customers the ability to explore their mobile worlds using touch and device recognition technology. Microsoft Surface is the first commercially available surface computer from Microsoft. Beginning April 17, customers can experience Microsoft Surface in select AT&T retail locations, including stores in New York City, Atlanta, San Antonio and San Francisco. Based on the success and learning from these initial pilot deployments, plans for further expansion across AT&T’s 2,200 U.S. retail stores will be determined.
Microsoft Surface is a 30-inch table-like display that gives individuals or multiple people the opportunity to interact with devices and content in a way that feels familiar — by using touch, gestures and placement of devices on the display. In essence, it’s a surface come to life for exploring, learning, sharing, creating, buying and much more.

"Exploring, learning, sharing, creating, buying and much more" . . . while standing there with bags in your hand or in a restaurant surrounded by a crowd of other people, or worse, while standing in line waiting to use it.
Call me when I can use something like that about 20 times smaller and in the comfort of my own home.
Oh wait . . . the iPhone platform.
Bravo, sir, bravo.
You bring shame to the apple clan in general
Microsoft is way ahead of Apple (as usual) and they can't stand it. But once they try it they will like it. They just won't ever admit it out loud.

Well, think about it.
MS releases something new, amazing, that is supposed to help you explore, learn, share, create, buy, and more.
But it's not really for you, to use at your own convenience, wherever and whenever you choose.
Instead, they'll stick it in AT&T stores, then perhaps expand it to more AT&T stores, and then, possibly, hopefully, to other stores. And maybe, someday, they'll be everywhere.
But what do YOU get out of all this today? Tomorrow? Next month?
I get to hear the ramblings of an idiot today. Thanks.
You are clearly not very well educated in the point of Surface and it's target audience and function. It's not supposed to be a giant iPhone and it never ever will be. Just because AT&T stores bought into it first doesn't mean you won't see it everywhere in the next few years. I look forward to the day when I sit down at an Applebee's with a party of 20 and we can split the bill on the table with relative ease.
So stop making an ass of yourself and maybe go back to the cave you came from. This is only the beginning and you're missing the point, trolling, and just looking like a fool.

You truly are ignorant. These are commercial systems. Are you going to bitch because Microsoft Point of Sale isn't at Circuit City for you to purchase and use at home? The consumer model is planned to be available in 2009.

Don't you mean iGnorance ??
You get 5 points for that.

Desktops computers in general??? a couple of decades ago who had computers? that's how technology moves, it starts being used in business, then expanded, improved and mass produced and eventually it finds its way into our households. It wouldn't make sense economically to sell such an expensive product (for now) to the general public.
What do you think they do up there, jump up and down on bouncy balls all day?
(okay that's what the Windows Live team does, I'll give you that one.)
As far as splitting your bill up goes, that's what waitresses are for.
Scirwode
Death, taxes and LTD's uninformed illogical ramblings.
