Microsoft "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.

But I must admit the Zune integration to the IKEA table might have been done by MS ;)

But seriously, this product looks fun, intuitive and somewhat innovative. Hey that sounds like Apple!
