It's interesting - The guy Kim who makes these things demonstrated a version about a year ago, and after the iPhone was announced there was speculation that he had been hired by Apple. It appears he's still out there doing his own work, and work allied to MS. I would say that multi-touch is going to be showing up a lot in the near future if there are a number of major companies experimenting with it.
For me, the coolest trick is putting the camera down on the table, dragging the pictures out, and throwing them across into the handheld computer. That's just ace.

momentum...is it weird that I am far more excited about that than I am about building physical models?

just bought a tablet monitor - 15" screen w/ a funky lil touch pen. takes a lil bit to get used too. but all in all its pretty damn cool!

i saw an interview with bill gates on tv today about this. he didnt seem to suggest that this is the absolute future of computing, just a direction of it. he suggested that it was aimed more at service industries like restaurants, hotels, etc and not to replace the conventional computer. the tech is cool though.

Imagine this surface computer running a drafting or 3d modeling application...
It would be as tactile as pencil drafting but with the ease and speed of clicking icons and typing short hand keys to manipulate your drawings as necessary. 3d modeling will be a matter of literal hand gestures of streching, pulling, rotating, scaling, etc. I am getting so excited just thinking about this.
Imagine tossing your clunky computer and having this interactive desk be your workstation. It kind of reminds me of old school Pac-Man arcade games.
I'm obsessed. I want this.

momentum...is it bizarre that I am unmistakably more amped up for that than I am tied in with structure physical models?
Warning! This is a fairly nerdy post. I just came across this article and thought it warranted a topic of its own.
