Microsoft's latest new thing is "Surface". With surface you can grab, strech, and move everything on the 30 inch tabletop screen...with your hands. Microsoft claimes that they came up with the idea for Microsoft Surface. This is not true. The idea for Surface was purchased from Jefferson Han, who is a research scientist. Jefferson has himself developed something similar to Surface, but on a large screen mounted on a wall. The new iPhone used similar technology in it's new interactive display.

With Surface people could go to a reseraunt and order their food with the interactive display, eat on it, and then pay by placing a credit or debit card on the table. For people buying cell phones it would allow them to place the cell phone that they plan to buy on Surface, which will display all of the features of the phone. The person can then purchase it on the spot.

Placing a digial camera or cell phone on Surface will allow users to view photos and drag and drop contacts from one phone to another. You will be able to resize, scale, and move them with your hands.

Microsoft Surface is suppose to come out later in the year with prices from about $5,000 - 10,000.
