[updated 1:05 with more information and moving silverlight code to a 2nd page]

I'm a difficult person to impress - Silverlight is one technology that impresses me seriously as to the future direction of media and web applications.  Now however we have a new platform that I really like the look of - Surface.  Have a look at the web site - see the possibilities of this touch and object sensitive device.  Put a camera on it and the pictures poor out of it.  look at photos and movies on it.

It is just a wow, how cool is that type of device. Maybe I should run some form of competition on the blog and see if anyone wants to win one when they ship!!

For more information go to www.microsoft.com/surface/ with the "Executive Q&A: What the new surface computing category means for Microsoft and consumers" found at http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2007/may07/05-29Surface.mspx and the general PR at http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2007/may07/05-29MSSurfacePR.mspx.  Finally you can see more at http://www.on10.net/Blogs/larry/first-look-microsoft-surfacing-computing/.

I have uploaded some photos to the site, but since I wanted to show how easy Popfly was too so instead have a look at the photos using Silverlight too. [updated to remove silverlight dependency on viewing the blog, however you can click the image to see the carousel working for real]
