Microsoft Surface Debuts At AT&T Retail Stores in TAAPLMSFT
By Silicon el 18-Apr-2008
Remember Microsoft's (MSFT) multi-touch Surface computer -- the "big-ass table" they showed off last summer? It's back -- as a sales tool/conversation starter -- at five AT&T (T) stores across the country, including two in New York.

How does it work? Put one of AT&T's display phones -- except, of course, Apple's (AAPL) iPhone -- on the display, and the Surface brings up an on-screen menu tailored to that phone, including device features, tech specs, different color options, accessories, etc. You can also use the multi-touch screen to view AT&T coverage maps, plans, and pricing.
It's pretty cool, and worth seeing in person. We've also included a short video below.
