Microsoft Surface as an extension to your cell phone

I can envision a future state where social profiles stored on the phone could be transferred to other physical devices like Microsoft Surface to allow businesses to work with their clients in a new way. A device like the Surface allows retail and user preference data to be transferred between a business and the consumer while a person is physically present via the cell phone. On the cell phone you could store clothing style and size preferences which when placed on the Surface the clothing store could automatically detect and make recommendations on clothing that is currently physically available at the store.

An exciting feature of the Surface is the ability to manipulate information thru human interaction such as the use of hand movements to share and update information. The phone is portable and digital but it lacks a large sized display for viewing and allow for a large range of human touch and movement. That’s where the Surface comes in and can be seen as a natural extension to the cell phone with a better and larger HCI and can serve as a physical hub for other cell phones (or really our mini-computers) to connect and share among other things.
