whats an Ambient Computing Device??

[BajanSaint69]

Brad Sams says MS is launching a new Surface Ambient Computing Device Q1 2019. Works with your phone but isn't a phone. Anyone want to take bets on what it is? A new Band perhaps?

 

[BajanSaint69]

No one taking a guess at this? It wasn't HoloLens 2, they've just cancelled the Band could it be a smartwatch?

It would be great if it was a smartwatch, that's for sure. Maybe it's something that works with other Surface products, kind of like the Surface Dial?

 

[BajanSaint69]

It might be the Surface Hub 2 in April you think?

 

[Ryujingt3]

I'd be happy with a Surface smartwatch. But it'll never happen.

Yeah I get that, I understand what Ambient computing is, but what "device" that surface could be cooking up I keep drawing a blank.

I don't think anyone really knows either. We just have to wait and see what MS delivers.
