Surface – The Table-Sized Tablet from Microsoft

Technology is always seeming to want to make things smaller and smaller. Just look at computers, once they were the size of a room and now you can carry one in your pocket thanks to smart phones. But now there is a product that is going the opposite way and supersizing something that usually can be hand held.

Microsoft’s table sized tablet, the Samsung SUR40 for Microsoft Surface or just Surface for short, is now ready for pre-orders. Thanks to a hefty price tag that is being estimated at over $8,000, this huge tablet is being marketed more to businesses and large organizations.

Even though I’d never be able to afford one, I think it would make an interesting addition to my home. I’m sure my toddler would love to play Angry Birds on it. And it would also be nice to have a coffee table that is functional so I can also use it to surf the internet with.

You can read more about the Surface, which is due to be released at some point in 2012.
