Microsoft Surface in ATT stores - Gimmick or Tool?

We have some more details; first off, apparently it will only be showing up in ATT's "Experience" stores. Those are 12 stores located in NYC, ATL, San Antonio, and San Francisco starting on April 7th.

However, we weren't satisfied to just know they were coming, we wanted to know if they were even remotely useful or if it was just another gimmick to get suckers in the door, like the iPhone (kidding, don't stone me to death). So PhoneMag, our sister site, sent Vincent on a safari through the jungle that is CTIA to see if he could actually find one of these buggers, he probably even tried talking like Steve Irwin (R.I.P.).

He did eventually find one, go figure it was at the ATT booth. Anyways, he thought it was awesome, but he carries an iPhone too so maybe it was the touch screen that wooed him. Check out the numerous vids, and there are a lot more pics over at PhoneMag as well.
