Microsoft Surface and AT&T Stores
The promise of the Microsoft Surface is now starting to come to life. AT&T is starting a roll out of the Surface as way to help demonstrate phone capabilities and provide services to existing phones while in store.
The big U.S. wireless provider says its retail customers will be able to place specific mobile phones on Surface’s 30-inch screen to learn about features, accessories and rate plans. They also will be able to compare two phones at a time, and use their hands to navigate a high-tech wireless coverage map.
AT&T says it plans to add more features later, such as the ability to select ringtones, graphics and other features by dragging icons of them across the screen and virtually “dropping” them onto the mobile phone.
Makes us think about the possiblities for all consumer electronics and future placements of the Surface.

I love the concept work on this thing. Very much anxious to see how it gets adopted on the consumer level, even though the first few projects are bound to be commercial/industrial.
Face it, air hockey on one of these things would rock.
