Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said today that Microsoft plans to SPEED UP DEVELOPMENT OF SURFACE FOR CONSUMERS. Glad to hear it, Steve. But first you've got to ship the retail version you promised would ship late last year.

Very nice blog! I like the way you put small summaries instead of long passages in each post. Helps people like me who don't want to read too much! Thanks for great work!
Now in love with my multi-touch iPod touch, having the "surface" all to myself sounded great until I realized what makes the iPod touch so great is you don't have to move your fingers very far to achieve great control over your technology. What we need isn't a surface screen, we need a multi-touch mousepad, sans mouse. Better yet, can I make my iPod a human input device?!
***** Very nice blog! *****
Thank you!

What a cool idea Mr. Roche! A touch screen mouse pad. That would be brilliant. I also hope one day they come out with a touch screen keyboard, where you can move add/subtract any keys whenever you want...I type a lot in Latvian and Swedish and I would like a keyboard where I can simply add the swedish and latvian letters to anywhere I want on the touchsreen-keyboard (å ä ö ü ī, etc...)
Luciernaga,

I also noticed Apple patented a multi-touch mouse device.
Yes, they are six months late.
FYI - If you go to microsoft.com, select "Products", select "UI", and then select "Surface", it tells you that the web page does not exist. If you manually type
http://www.microsoft.com/surface
the web page is there. This is really unusual for Microsoft, I can't remember the last time I found a bad link on their site.
