Microsoft has introduced its new Surface PC, a touchable PC residing in a table. Multiple people can use their hands to move around objects on the table’s surface, resizing photographs, moving files from wifi devices placed on the table’s surface, and generally using simple hands-on techniques to manipulate data and devices. It takes intuitive computing to the next level. See the video demonstration at http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid271552687/bctid933742930clipped from www.buzzscreen.com
