Microsoft Surface, $12,500
Microsoft’s phenomenal Surface computer just may be the ultimate touch-screen device. Using a 30-inch screen as big as a coffee table, users can sit down and manipulate objects on it as naturally as if they were actually there. That means stretching and moving photos with two hands, finger painting with all 10 fingers, and creating real-time ripples in virtual water. At the moment, they’re being sold for commercial use only, but Microsoft expects to eventually introduce them for households in coming years, as well.
