The technology is nothing like multi-touch. It uses five infra-red detectors and a projector, projecting onto the back of metal impregnated glass. It does not use any real touch system at all. I think they are going to sell them for upwards of 11,000 USD each.

What do you mean by “not for the ordinary folks” :-P None the less what is interesting is Microsoft had this thing called ‘Touch Light’ but i was just watching a video over at PopularMechanics.com and all the fellas (incl MS folks) were using the term ‘Multi Touch’. Damn! Aint that Apple’s language?

yeah it could be a possibility , but you cant actually compare a sophisticated device with Iphone. After all iphone is starting of mobile revolution and we have much more to come. You cant copying , but can very well use the word inspiration as every device will one or two feature more than the other :-)

@Bentley If you check the surface website they have been working on it since 2001 so there could be a possibility the iPhone copied from them. Also I remember seeing a prototype of this on Youtube even before all the iPhone Hype
