A friend of mine on Crenk, just let me know that AT&T is looking at getting in bed with Microsoft when it comes to their Surface platform.

With AT&T the Surface will have the capabilities of dragging videos, photos, ring tones, songs and dropping them into the phones.

Sounds to me like the feature was already planned, but now they have someone paying for its development, and AT&T will probably get nearly exclusive rights to have their products work in a more advanced way with regards to the Surface product. If Surface ever really catches on.

I really don’t think Microsoft and Apple should take on such exclusivity deals as it creates a bad environment for consumers. Who wants to buy anything that might not work with another product or service? These days, I like my products to work independent of brand.
