    That is exceptionally cool.

    I remember conceptualising something similar about 8 years ago with a colleague. Kind of a shame Microsoft did it an not some new enterprise - but still - its very very cool

    Wow! They’ve managed to take the multi-touch capabilities of the iPhone and somehow ::squeeze:: them into a desktop! Whatever next? And at only US$5000 - US$10,000 each.

    Hi Rod - well lets be honest it’ll drop in price and just think how this could revolutionise learning…especially enterprise education!

    Rod, didn’t we see this on the NZ stand at CeBIt three years ago?

    hmmm yes looks good hope it’s this good in reality, on the other hand we’re still waiting on the minority report UI, that’s what we really need.

    The Minority Report UI was been talked about at this years Linux.conf.au. Its practical flaw, apparently, is that you get very sore arms using it. Something for OSH to consider.
