Microsoft Surface
http://www.microsoft.com/surface/
The Microsoft Surface is a new interactive, touch-screen device introduced last night. The Surface is a coffee table with an interactive top that allows for the user to manipulate the screen using their hands. No more keyboards or mice.
What the Surface brings "to the table" is recognition of items like PDA's, digital cameras, and credit cards. The wireless capability of the Surface is what really makes it different and great. The units are priced between $5,000-10,000 and will be initially geared toward businesses but will appear in retail stores by the end of the year.
In typical fashion, Microsoft has taken an idea that's been bouncing around the industry and tried to mainstream it. TouchTable and Mitsubishi have been playing with this idea for years in the mapping world and it is really cool.

I wonder if it can connect wirelessly to your HDTV and act as a giant remote control
Still, I prefer keyboard and mouse. Easier for games, not to mention if you damage one of those, they can be replaced...If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos...then you probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation.
