12 AT&T stores will have the gigantic Microsoft touchscreen table by next month, but for now only 5 of them have. We do not reside in the US&A, but managed to bring you some videos and opinions of who was there.
My favorite part of the Surface is that it has lots of touch points; one person can zoom in on an object while another person flicks a different object. At one point, we had 30 fingers on the table, and they were all registering. The ability to collaborate in a physical way (group painting or photo sharing come to mind) will definitely be a big draw. Inevitable comparisons to the iPhone—curiously unavailable to place on the table—are warranted: It’s basically the same feel, but 10x bigger.
