    Harry, you could easily get rid of the toast by putting it inside the child if you had a table like that :lol1: :lol1:

    Amazing stuff.

    I saw an article some time ago about that guy Asian guy in the clip, Jonathon, when he first came up with this concept. Everyone thought he was a loser, and absolute geek. He is an absolute genius though. Glad he’s got the last laugh . 😛

    great idea

    but I guarantee by the time Microsoft finish with it, it’ll be classless, difficult to use and full of bugs (that’s what Microsoft does best!).

    i think this sort of thing would be brilliant in any sort of hotel/work/restaurant waiting room/reception. these days it is common to see a large plasma on the wall of some upmarket work places… ide guess they would be out about £1500-£2000 anyway, another £500 gets you this bit of ingenious technology.

    I think the price will probably be a bit higher than that Robert, on the article they were talking between 5 & 10 thousand dollars so I would think we would be looking at a bit more you mentioned for them over here, still a very good investment for a lot of places though, I could see it bringing people in just out of interest.
