Wireless: AT&T to use Microsoft touch-table tech
Want to know more about that AT&T phone? Just slap it down on this table here (but not too hard).
Taking the touch-screen trend from wireless phones to wireless stores, AT&T says it will use Microsoft Surface to help sell handsets.
The Microsoft Surface is a coffee table-like computer that allows people to interact with a display by touching it and placing objects on the flat 30-inch top.
AT&T will give the technology its first commercial deployment on April 17. It will appear in stores in Atlanta, New York, San Francisco and San Antonio, Texas. All AT&T stores may be next depending on how the pilot program goes.
AT&T plans to demonstrate the Surface Wednesday at the CTIA Wireless show in Las Vegas. We plan to show you what it looked like. Stay tuned.
