Here:

"Multi-touch has at least a 25 year history[5], beginning in 1982, with pioneering work being done at the University of Toronto (multi-touch tablets) and Bell Labs (multi-touch screens)."

Apple wins, they have the iPod.

The iPod isn't even in the same product category? I like Apple too, but you don't need to be proclaiming victories for a battle that isn't taking place...

I can't wait to play with one of these during a dinner or something.

Nice.
Im sure I have seen somthing like this on youtube, where some guy was putting random objects down on the surface and they were making music (each objects weight/size and distance from other objects, created a sound/beat)
I will see if I can find it

Persionaly I wouldnt want to use this because of the wifi debate.

But im thinking this would be awsome for agame like starcraft2 tho
Persionaly I think the future of computers is to beable to intereact with the computer via thought. (USB brain wave hat please!)
This has already been done with a monkey and a microchip wired into the back of the skull, tapping into a nerv I belieave they got the monkey to operate machinery by reading its thoughts on a computer, once the monkey figgerd out it could controll the machine with out needing to move its arm/joy-stick.

EDIT: Found that youtube video
