If you can afford 5 to 10 grand for an electronic coffee table, take a look a Microsoft Surface. It isn’t being touted on Microsoft’s sight yet, but this Yahoo! News Article (Yahoo link gone) has some info on it.
A coffee table with a touch screen top that responds to more than one touch at a time. Now I could go on and on about how Americans care about nothing but recreation and fun, but this “Surface” actually will be used in the office eventually also.
For a while Microsoft Surface devices will be a novelty in hotels and upscale cell phone stores, but in time I can see this as a much better way of scrapbooking, organizing and enjoying photos and (gasp!) even games. In fact, it could spawn a whole new generation of table and card games. I can envision a really cool way to play chess. Add some remote consoles and how about a war strategy game?
Microsoft Surface just may end up in more places than one might think.

Now this is sleek ! The highest technology I have yet to have seen. Are you kidding? Yes ! I do want one. I would love to just use one to show off to people who have not seen it yet. I know a lot of people who like to keep up with the proverbial Jones’ and I personally am not one of them but this new technology sure is and so are the people who really want them. Yes including myself but I personally would not get one to keep up with the proverbial Jones’ !! I would purchase one due to the vast diversity it sounds like it has to offer. I mean we can play star trek with the coffee table design and I am sure someone thought of that while building it. Genius !! Sheer Genius !!
Beam me up Scotty !!
Yeah i guess this works the same way as Apple iphone did. I think a guy named Jess Something played a major role in multi-touch screens. check out http://www.ted.com
