Someone buy me one.

Holy crap. We are officially in the future now.

The future is here and I'm setting my glass down on it.

That was awesome.

touch screen is noting new, bu it was very elegantly done, i must say.

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...

Do want the big ass computer table.

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...

Was it really that hard to do things with a mouse and keyboard? (is this new technology even that much more convienient or quicker?:rolleyes2)

edit: lol pretty much what that parody link said.

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

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.
