Microsoft May Sell Surface for Consumers

A Microsoft market research survey suggests that the company might be looking into selling Surface devices aimed at consumers. The device, code named "Oahu," would be a consumer version of the advanced multi-touch computer that until now has only been used by companies like AT&T for in-store promotions. It looks like Microsoft is looking to start furnishing your house.

"Oahu can come as a freestanding table, placed into a piece of furniture, or built into a countertop. The type of Oahu devices we are asking about today are not portable but if they are furniture or tables, they can be placed anywhere in your home."

The survey suggests a $1,499 price tag for Oahu.
