Still waiting to get your greasy fingers on one of those crazy expensive Surface 2 touch-tables? You probably won’t get to play cool demos like those shown in this video, but you will be able to create and order your own photo book from Fuji Film.
The kiosks will be rolled out in the next month or so, and will let multiple users import photos from a USB stick, media card or CD, and simultaneously compose albums using multi-touch gestures. But will it play Angry Birds? [Mumbrella]

Knowing Harvey Norman, they’ll be in awful condition about 10 minutes in.

If anything I’m a Microsoft fanboy, and I personaly cannot stand the apple cult.
I was actually bitching about Harvey Norman… I really like the MS Surface.

“come to Harvey Norman to see the surface! it’s BSOD/password locked/unplugged like all our other electronics but you can still see it!”

Monday, June 27, 2011 at 4:39 PMDon’t know about you but my girlfriend,her mother, my mother and just about every girl I know always gets photos printed and gets them put in really fancy photo-albums to share with each other.

Monday, June 27, 2011 at 6:34 PMI wouldn’t say desperate, I’d say savvy. Retailers are going to have to value add to their retail store experiences to get people into their shops. It seems to me to be a step in the right direction to mediating the beating they’re taking from online shopping.
A couple of surfaces aren’t going to change anything, but the thinking is sound.

Monday, June 27, 2011 at 4:34 PMThis is terrible news. How will anyone ever take Surface seriously now?
Thanks, Harvey!
