MS Surface

It’s easy to see why everybody is so exited about Microsoft Surface, the technology and user experience are just amazing, imaging the possibilties. I could write and talk about this for days, instead, I’d suggest you have a look at these videos.

To my knowledge this was the first piece of software that acted purely as a status item, like a logo on a shirt or car, or like an oversized diamond on a ring, quite interesting. It would have cost you about 670 Euro (approx. £530,- or $1,000,- ) and did nothing but shine, showing off your “wealth”.
Apple app store received a whole bus load of complaints and the app was taken offline, envy does still stir people I guess. The app was created by Armin Heinrich as an lifestyle & art thing.
I wonder whether one of our fundraising clients might do a similar supporter app/badge (bought with a sizeable donation) for iPhone users to show that they support the charity, rather like wearing an NSPCC full stop button on your jacket. The app could then drive messages to the donor rather like a desktop application – alerting them to new campaigns, emergency appeals, etc.
