Although there were some announcements from different manufacturers – HP sells this really nice device already – but just in the US, Canada, New Zealand, … – but we haven’t found one in Europe. Recommendations where to buy it right now with delivery to Austria would be highly appreciated!

This size will allow to implement some real nice interactive Digital Signage Applications for retail, trade fairs, banks, ….
With a recommended price of USD 1.999,- for the Display HP obviously tries to get marketshare

This is very very cool – I knew Andy had something in preparation as he mentioned it to me already on Teched in Berlin last November.
Finally there is a way to build the Application logic with .Net and still use the Power of Silverlight on your CE 7 and CE 6.0R3 devices!

This one also a Spec that fits our requirement. (Full HD, Multitouch all-in one) Compared to the fancier Medion it is cheaper 1000 vs 1800€’s.

We are currently searching for a Hardware for one of our Surface Customers where they plan to make the Surface application available on more spots in their premises.
The most promising Hardware I found so far is a Consumer Solution from Medion the X9613 on sale right now.

Anybody experience with one of these or an alternative recommendation?

It is a real challenge to run Silverlight applications standalone and have a way to do interprocess communication with windows applications! For our ongoing challenge we got inspired by DesLighter from Blendables – after this I found a more generic recipe Stand alone multiplatform Silverlight application on Tamir Khason Blog.
In both concepts you implement a purpose built http server in the Host Application that wants to communicate with a Silverlight App integrated in a Webbrowser Control.
Some of this Scenarios can be solved with Silverlight 4 out of Browser functionalities – yet this is a very flexible and generic approach that fits our current challenges better.

My article yesterday caused a little bit of confusion so I will try to explain a little more in detail what options we have.
In order to run Surface applications you have three basic options:
- A real Microsoft Surface Table
- A developer work seat with the tools provided by the Surface SDK
- If you have the source code you can port it to run on Windows 7 with a Multitouch-LCD
I hope this makes it more clear what I showed in yesterdays post!

Just playing with Silverlight & Windows Phone 7.
Guess, the result is quite okay so far. For what you can see, I used 2 components:
- PanoramaView Control: look&feel like known from the MS presentations
- AnimateOrientation: does the animation when rotating the phone.
See the video attached for where I got so far.
