Imagine surfing and doing what you normally would do with a computer, now on a surface of a table, without mouse or any pointer device but your fingers. Microsoft made technology we seen in Minority Report and some other futuristic movie came through. Watch the video below to get impressed. I particularly like the part where images can be quickly retrieved by just putting a digital camera on the table. Images then can be transfer to another mobile device on the surface as easy as dragging them over. Now that’s what I call high technology. More photos and impressive video after jump.

I finally got to play around with one of these in person. I was impressed by how accurately it detected input from multiple users.
While a large number of the apps are only for technology demonstration purposes, it is easy to see how this could indeed become a ubiquitous appliance in many commercial settings. Maybe we’ll see initial adoption by the end of this year? (2008)
Using silverlight 2 and expression, the development for this device will be great. Now that the Silverlight 2 beta is out, I would recommend grabbing a copy. It is going to be very nice to be able to develope web, windows, surface, mobile apps through the same code base.
Here are some videos from units on display at MIX 08 including a Snow Board Customization App.

This sure has come a long way from their sample unit in Redmond. Only thing left is a good/quick way of capturing user input (text).
