What technology? Cameras and bluetooth? The innovation in the surface
is the user interface, not the hardware. And it is innovative. But if
you've the time and the energy, you could copy it. I give Microsoft
full credit for inventing a new interface that requires no text, no
windows, and no user-manipulated hardware that a caveman is not
familiar with. I hope that the Surface succeeds because anyone can use
it. Any anyone could copy it as well.
