    A good development, especially when it eventually incorporates a virtual keyboard and a mouse substitute, so it can do absolutely everything a contemporary PC can do. Also, combine these ideas with the flexible plastic screens that are being developed, add an ultra-compact hard-drive, and you've effectively got a completely portable PC. Especially if they make the HD a cylinder - simply wrap the monitor around it like a scroll, and you've got baton-sized practicality...

    one of the biggest problems with the flexible screens they are making is longlivity.. because they use chemicals and alkeli metals that degrade in oxigen. The plastic isnt totally air proof, as the molecular spacing just isnt dense enough. Therefore it would degrade in periods ranging from 1 minute to 1 year.

    its a lot of trouble.. however, the thin glass models should be on the market soon.

    They'll eventually overcome that, though - after all, that's what 'progress' is all about. Every new technology has its flaws, and they'll perfect it while working on the next big development...

    If I was at a restaurant I'd rather look at my food than a computer table.

    We looked at this in business the other week, it looks so cool but also expensive

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
    Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?

    Manipulating things directly is always better than using a mouse. Always.

    Mouse + keyboard + monitor = 3 gadgets. This thing would let you roll them all into one.
