According to
News.com, we might see a consumer level Microsoft Surface sooner then later. If you recall, the touch screen tables were announced last year to a lot of hype. In my opinion, that’s just what they are. Come on! We were just scratching the surface (pun intended) with touch screens back then. Now that we’ve got the
iPhone
and a barrage of other touch screen devices, is it really that impressive that someone has jammed a computer and some touchpoints onto a screen, and boxed and wrapped it in a 70s esque video game table (remember when you’d stare down at Pacman). Anyway, the consumer, or home Surface wasn’t due for another 5 years. Now Steve Ballmer wants to speed that up, but we still don’t know an exact date for release. Currently, Microsoft still has to deliver the promised Surfaces to hotels, casino, etc, which they’re behind on.

I snagged this from the guys at
Phonearena. The new HTC Touch looks pretty promising with a sexy form factor and a supposedly intuitive touch screen control (we all know how these can go). It runs Windows Mobile 6 and includes a slide out keypad with a few additional hard buttons such as instant email and Windows access.
- 4.2 x 2.2 x .6 inches
- 4.2 oz
- 5 hour talk time
- 180 hour standby time
- 65k color screen at 2.6″
- Includes styles and handwriting recognition
- 2 megapixel camera
- MicroSD
- I guess you can get a 20 key QWERTY keyboard (it’s optional)
Big pics on the ‘more’

LG will show off its recently unveiled KS20 at IFA 2007 (Europe’s largest Consumer Electronics show), which begins this Friday, August 31st. It’s slim at 12.8mm thick and features a 2.8″ touch screen display. It runs on Window Mobile 6, can rock the HSDPA (3g high speed Internet) unlike the
iPhone and sports a 2MP camera. Will it be an iPhone killer? I doubt it. The touch screen, based on the pic and operating system, is probably more equatable to
Palm’s Treo’s minus the tactile
keyboard. The LG-KS20 is set to hit the European market Q4 2007 with no word on the price tag.
My advice: Hold out for the 32GB iPhone. Course, Apple didn’t include some slutty ‘barely legal’ chicks to show it off…

If you’ve seen Speilberg’s Minority Report then you probably already know what we’re talking about. At TED 2006 (Technology Entertainment Design Conference) in Monterey, CA Jeff Han showed off what looks like the most amazing, to date of course, touch screen technology. Using one hand or two, the presenter seamlessly navigated his way through photographs, maps and more. At times he used two hands and it seemed to create an axis for the other hand to work off of. You gotta watch the
video here. Eat your heart out Apple (
iPhone).
