Microsoft's Surface is a bold product with some great touches.It doesn't feature a camera and focuses on Office software,which suggests Microsoft is focusing this product on an executive toy.There's no 3G connection (only Wi-Fi) so owners won't have to worry about an extra contract.
The real delight,however,is Metro,the impressive navigation interface (导航界面).It is beautifully designed with brightly colored squares for navigation.Pre-orders for Surface in the US sold out over the weekend,so it would seem customers are excited.
