"Microsoft has unveiled a new touch-sensitive coffee table-shaped computer called 'Surface'. Designed to do away with the need for a traditional mouse and keyboard, users can instead use their fingers to operate the computer. Also designed to interact with mobile phones placed on the surface, Microsoft says it will initially sell the unit to corporate customers. These will include hotels, casinos, phone stores and restaurants." Instant update: More details and a video.

I thought tablets would be all the rage, and they didn't really catch on.
Although they seem to be gaining speed, at least here on campus: 80% of the laptops here are tablet PCs. (Another 10% are just XP or 2000 laptops, another 10% are Macs, and then there are the two guys who have Linux laptops and talk about Linux like Campus Crusade for Christ talks about Jesus.)
