Over the past few years, Microsoft has managed to get their operating system on to giant coffee table like devices. After shifting the Surface name over to their tablet line of devices, the Windows coffee tables are now dubbed PixelSense devices. 3M and Ideum decided the world of computer powered coffee tables could use some variety and they are now preparing a couple Android powered devices for consumers.
Two versions of the Platform Multitouch Coffee Table will be produced, a 32-inch and a 46-inch version. Both sport 1080p displays with up to 60 touch points, a 3.7GHz Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, 16GB of RAM and 500GB of storage. Even though they have some serious hardware packed in to the tables, 3M and Ideum indicate they will be using Android 4.1 for an operating system. Prices start at $6,950 for the made in the USA devices.
The tables are currently available with Windows 8 installed with the Android powered version coming out later this year. Check out the video below showing them in operation and start thinking about how they will hold up to repeated tapping from a Flappy Bird clone.
