Why does Brian remember me of Barney from "How I Met Your Mother"; especially when he mentions the bachelor party? hehe

I really enjoy these but this one, well, just a wee bit goofy this time. Wink

Dan

Yeah, we'll probably have a goofy show every now and then (Halloween, April Fools Day, Holidays), maybe we should label them in the title so people know we're going to be a little less newsy and a bit more...pointless:P

So the iPhone can actually sync with Microsoft Surface? :O

Dan

Not exactly, the surface just reads a barcode for whatever hardware or product is put on top of it. That being said, Bluetooth communication and/or wireless should be possible if someone wanted to build something with a little more direct connection on Surface.

Neil Patrick Harris modeled his character after Brian. True story.

Don't you see it?

They are AWESOME!

We need Brian in a suit to compare... A Barney-like suit... not too tied, a little bit lazy, but in a suit.

Suit up! (to say it in Barney's words)

So they just put a barcode sticker on the back of the device and service reads that ? Or how does it work exactly ?

There must be some connection if you want to drag and drop songs to a phone, no ?

I think the dragging/dropping of songs onto a phone was demoware meaning I don't think AT&T or Surface has built anything beyond prototypes of that yet. I could be mistaken though and they could be further along here.
