Well MS has announced MS Surface at 12am on 5/30.  It basically like in that moive Minority Report where tom cruise moves stuff around with his hands without using a mouse or anything else.  Well now you can own it and here is some links and vids on it.

   That is pretty damn cool I must admit.  I don't even want to think of how much one of these "surface computers" is going to cost, but I would estimate probably in the five digit range at least.  I really like how it identifies what you lay on the screen.....that could be fun if you know the right people. :D  I also would love to see one of these in the hands of Miyamoto......I'd love to see what could be done with this if utilized for gaming.  The only thing that I would be concerned about is fatigue after prolonged usage.......it takes a lot less effort to move a mouse and twiddle your thumbs with a controller.

Otherwise, I'd love to have one of these in my house in the future.

Very impressive, thanks for the link.
