Microsoft Surface
One of the coolest technologies I have ever seen! Imagine just dropping your Zune on this table and sharing your media files? Or uploading/downloading to your Zune from this table? Forget to iPhone, this table rocks! The first video is a Promo and the second has Bill Gates demonstrating the features.

Keyboard with Zune Dock Looking Good
Last year we saw images of a keyboard that would have a Zune dock integrated into it. Now Gizmodo has published some more images of the keyboard and it looks really nice. The keyboard is supposedly made by Razer Pro, but there are as of now no details of the Zune keyboard on the website. In regards to that a release date for this product still has not been given.
Another interesting thing I found was that the Zune keyboard looks exactly like the iPod keyboard developed by Razor aswell. The keyboard also keeps that white colour that is assosiated with Apple. So I still have doubts that this product is real. Regardless I have included several images of the products below. Enjoy.

Microsoft + Ford = Sync

Coming fall 2007 Microsoft and the car company Ford are teaming up to bring you a factory-installed, in-car communications and entertainment system, which will be called “Sync”. The system is set to be installed in a dozen of Fords 2008 car models, including the Ford Explorer and Focus, but is said to expand that to all Ford, Lincoln and Mercury cars in 2009.
I could go on and talk about Sync but I think this advert for the system pretty much sums it all up.
