microsoft surface: i’m a bit skeptical

i’ve seen the videos and i’ve heard the hype, but i have to say that i am just not sold yet.  i know, i know the videos are cool but i just can’t wrap my head around it.  listen, i am the first one to jump on the ‘latest tech bandwagon’ but for some reason i have this vision of seeing these things collecting dust in at&t stores 3 months after release.  i don’t want to be the ‘i told ya so’ guy, but i’m calling it a fail.  my reasoning is that it’s not a full-featured release, rather it’s a hurried-out-the-door-to-capture-hype release and if it’s not 110% solid it won’t make the grade.

think about it: you’re releasing a product to the consumer public that has never used it or has any idea of how to interact with it (save gesture recognition from the iphone).  not only will they resist it because it’s unknown but they will have to be shown how to use said product and therefore will not get on-board.

i just don’t see the takeoff happening as planned.  sorry macrohard but i’m not feeling your product.  i do see it happening in other arenas in the long run, but i think you are once again ahead of the curve and unsupported.
