[QUOTE="xwonderboy85x, post: 496988, member: 6364"] Take a look at this: [url]http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2007/10/02/vanmarsh.uk.the.surface.cnn[/url] How in the world can they do this when Apple's Multi-Touch is supposedly so armored in patents? My only guess is that they're only using conventional touch technology (it doesn't look like they're ever using more than two input points) and just stealing the application ideas. Even if the above is true, it's still frustrating that they're so blatantly ripping off Apple's year-old ideas to much CNN fanfare. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
