Surface vs. Table

Ever since Microsoft announced their "latest" technology, Microsoft Surface, media was like crazy about that. Honestly, nowadays technologies are hardly new. They are just copied from there, customized a bit from here, then got wrapped up with very nice looking attractive package. I believe this so-called Surface is no different from Sony's SIXAXIS technology vs. Nintendo's Wiimote. So, Philips itself actually has a concept called Entertaible (frankly, I don't think it is such a good name at all, hard to remember and it doesn't make any sense at all). Look at the video clips above and tell me the fundamental technologies are not the same? We cannot tell which one comes first, but I can tell Microsoft has done a better job in promoting than Philips (so sad...).
