AT&T and Microsoft Surface Reveal New Customer Experience
It has been announced that AT&T will join forces with Microsoft and use the Microsoft Surface. The announcement was made yesterday at the 5th Annual AT&T Press Luncheon during CTIA.
The Microsoft Surface features a 30″ multi touch screen which can detect any phones on its surface. With AT&T the Surface will have the capabilities of dragging videos, photos, ring tones, songs and dropping them into the phones. The Surface is a great concept but I cant see this making too much difference in phone shops throughout the USA. It would be much better if it could be used in restaurants. However, that being said im sure this is a nice additional revenue stream for Microsoft.

Microsoft Surface is a great idea; the objects are as much a part of the interaction as the hands themselves.
I heard one commentator call Surface out as being Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s iPhone — if only they could make it fit in your pocket!
Problem is the price.
But then again, Microsoft are pitching at a totally different audience, certainly the kind who aren’t too shy to spend…
