[QUOTE="vagabundo, post: 5032433, member: 55864"] The DS and Ipod touch are hugely popular for gaming. What makes you think that this won't be? It would be trival to enhance Natel/Wand/Wiimote game with screen multitouch; even if you needed a separate controler for twitch games like FPSs. But their are other popular genres out there that would work very well on multi touch. Your joking right? Watch any sci-fi movies? (minority report) for hints on how this could be very productive for office applications. In the near therm we are going to still want keyboards/mice, but they are going the way of the dinosaurs. Things are changing fast, mobiles are changing the way people use technology. Ipods and DSs are opening new ways for people to use things, this will filter into everything. Have you ever used an watcom tablet? I do some sketching on one and I would prefer to see what I'm drawing on my tip of my pen, I could also do controls (like zoom, filters, ...) with my other hand through touch. It would be like night and day. Surface is perfect for art.. Same as for office productivity, processing power is the only limit on this, but editing my touch would be so much quicker. Insert a 10/20 core processor and it will zip. Lots and lots of people will buy these products for a variety of reasons. I'm sure Sony a good coffee table/swivel design. It will be professionals/nerds/gadget freaks who will jump first but in a decade or two every house will have, at least, one of these devices, from Ipod size to 50inch living room. At some stage all TVs will come with multitouch as a feature. Sure Samsung all ready sells a TV with Linux installed. Surface and its ilk is the future my man. PC's are on their way out. [/QUOTE]
