not the muti touch screen again?
ok at least now there seams to be a few reasonable apps for it but i think it is somewhat over hyped

its as Shippou-Chan said, muti touch screen , the examples given were, the ability to draw with two hands, zooming in one piece, while another is not, using nasa's earth program and moving around in 3d, putting digital images in diffent places to create a mosiac , or completing a puzzle.
For artists its a great idea, for a programmer its pointless.

if you flibble when you wibble, don't wobble
There really should be more uses made of touch screens. I aquired one and it very quickly became my main monitor and input device as it's just so intuitive to use. I find myself stabbing the monitors at work now cos I'm so used to it.
A multitouch screen should be very easy to make, it just needs some programming changes to accept multiple inputs. I think the best use for something like this would be for a coffee table monitor, that has multimedia functions, show pics, video etc.
I'm planning on making my touch screen into the main interface for my media centre, the aim is to make something that can play anything, and make it so easy to use I don't need to show anyone how to use it.
I think I can achieve that, but probably wouldn't with a more traditional input device.
Touch screens rock!!!
