Microsoft decided to showcase its Surface Tabletop Computer at AT&T stores nation wide. But this machine is not for sale yet. Check it out:
http://www.switched.com/2... Microsoft Surface official site: http://www.microsoft.com/... Will you buy one for your living room in the future? I will close this prediction in a month and keep this casual. This prediction is just for fun.

The only really useful thing that surface tables do are multiple touch interfacing. There's already a hack to get wiimote IR sensors to do this. I predict that screen projector technology is going to become very cheap soon(ish) (Possibly something based on scanning Red-Green-Blue lasers), and simple (visible or IR) camera-based point-tracking will be quickly combined with this to get the same effect with more flexibility and cheaper cost. Surface Table Computers will be the new Vic20's of the 2000's.
I got a idea though... will it possible to put one of these computer in most office's reception area. So guests can look up info, or check in using the computer? I know this is kind of stupid.
