Will 40 Inch Tablets, EXOdesk and Microsoft Surface Launch this Month?
Imagine having a Tablet the size of your desk to paint, create music or surf the internet on with out a keyboard or mouse. A Tablet that could also be used as a wall mounted TV or a computer screen.
ExoPC posted a video teasing a multitouch surface called the EXOdesk, promising more details when the show kicks off after the new year. The desk measures 40 inches (make that “40 high-definition inches”) and, as you’d expect, supports a smorgasboard of multi-fingered gestures.
the company did reveal it’ll go on sale next year for $1,299 — a fraction of the $8,400 you’ll pay for the new Samsung SUR40 running Microsoft Surface.
