Microsoft is launching the first consumer surface computer, Microsoft Surface. The device features a 30-inch table-like display that consumers operate via hand gestures or by placing physical objects on the computer’s surface. Microsoft officials say Surface, the company’s first device in its new category of surface computing products, is designed to simplify a user’s interaction with digital content such as photos and music. The device was unveiled May 30 during the Wall Street Journal’s D: All Things Digital Conference.

When you say commercially available, do you mean that it is going to be released to a small subset of Microsoft Partners, or will it be something which the business community at large could purchase and make use of?
Also, where is the development community for all of this? Links?
And, any idea of costs?
