Microsoft has presented a new toy at CES: Microsoft Surface 2.0.

About a year ago I followed an interesting surface training. Back then I also wrote a blog post on my adventure. I was very exited about this toys, because that what it is for a developer! So it did not take long before I created a first application for the LBi client afternoon. It was very interesting to see people interact with my application on a real table:

Some of the features I like about the new toy:

  • Slim: there is actually free space under the tabletop!
  • You can also mount it on a wall.
  • HD: your app will look very appealing on 40-inch 1080p LCD HD screen.
  • No big cameras anymore: every pixel of the screen acts as a camera (Pixel Sense Technology).
  • Better OS: Vista is replaced by Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
  • New hardware: 2.9GHz AMD Athlon II X2 processor and a Radeon HD 6700M.
  • Cheaper: $ 7600 (more…)
