*shrug* I'll point out the benefits to my old boss at some stage, I know he'd probably be incredibly enthusiastic about it

Aye, seen this before. It's certainly impressive but will be a few years before it hits the home

It is impressive but I wonder just how useful and how useable it would be? Like all software/hardware it only works as well as the program that it has been designed around.

I watchd this thinking oooh thats nice, but it looks like something you could play around on for 5 minutes and then think "what now?"
Saying that, it looks like it could be useful in design. If you can whip up an image and make it move which way you want that fast it looks like it could be useful, along with photo/film editing. But how many of us would spend our evenings in playing with a pretend lava lamp?

Whilst watching it then I was thinking of the possibilities for gaming. Eve would be amazing if you were controlling it by actually dragging things across the screen, targetting ships by double tapping them, rotating and zooming the camera view with a simpl gesture... I could go on... Admittedly it'd be crap for first person shooters :/

Yep i was thinking for games as well, for shooting i dont think it would work as well unless u had attachments for a gun, but then that would go against it being touch screen. For strategy games it would work, or in games like final fantasy, where you have the ability to look and touch things, pick them up etc etc
