> If we decided to build a touch screen device several times the size of the iPad Pro, it wouldn’t just be a new device, or even a new device category. It would be a completely new kind of experience with no comparison in the history of computing. Like the Microsoft Surface multimedia coffee table: [VIDEO]
No, not this one. The one I'm talking about had people talking about the product and how you could use it. The part with the song I'm talking about was a food restaurant setting (as opposed to a bar setting) Edit: The one I have in mind was more like this one in terms of setting - [VIDEO]
Reminds of Microsoft Surface, the original coffee table [1]. It was quite cool at the time, but too expensive for what could have been useful application. Hopefully for them, this will have more luck. On a side not, the website is completely blank on Firefox. [1] [VIDEO]
