Scratching the Surface?

You may have seen in the news today that Microsoft launched a new product due for release later this year – Microsoft Surface. From what little I’ve seen of it… imagine a large, table-top touch screen computer.
It seems that it would make things very easy to use, and the clear touch-pad technology is now out there (we’ll also be seeing it on Apple’s iPhone when it comes out) to make new things like this possible.
I wouldn’t be expecting one to roll out into a classroom too soon, though. Some reactions over the net, and even some of the potential use scenarios depicted by Microsoft suggest that it could be a product famous (for a while, at least) for its novelty value.
