Microsoft will sell a 55" and 84" Surface this year

[z31fanatic]

Microsoft already sells Surface devices in two sizes — 10 and 12 inches. Later this year, the Surface is going big. Really, really big.

Targeted primarily at business users, Microsoft will offer the Surface Hub in two sizes: 55 inches and 84 inches. In many ways, they really are just scaled-up versions of the Surface Pro. They have touchscreens and support pen input just like their siblings, but while the Surface Pro is built to let workers and teams get things done when they’re off on their own, the Surface Hub is all about letting them be more productive when they work together.

Ipad Pro what?

To be honest it makes me question what kind of direction Microsoft are headed in. Whilst Apple are focused on making really awesome consumer products, it seems that Microsoft are trying to grab whichever part of the business market they can.

This most directly competes with the interactive projector offerings that EPSON has available and of course with interactive whiteboard products. So perhaps Microsoft decided that this was a lucrative market to break into? I suppose with the ability to properly integrate it into the OS Microsoft can definitely make a very competitive offering.
