In pictures: Microsoft's Surface launches in Australia

Microsoft has launched its multitouch table in Australia

Kordahi shows off the Lonely Planet app, which will be heading to the travel guide's flagship stores over the coming months. You will be able to place any Lonely Planet guide on the table and bring up photos, videos and relevant information. Placing your Lonely Planet pass onto the table lets you transfer your chosen photos, videos and locations into the pass. All data is stored in the cloud, so once you head home, opening up the Lonely Planet Web site will let you access all that information again through a Silverlight-enabled browser.
