In fact, look up the Jeff Han video, his angled screen is great, but imagine two options, touching the screen itself, as in that video, or rotating the screen from 45 degrees to 90 degrees (flush with the wall) where you would then back away from the screen, and use a remote touching surface to control the screen. (I'd sit on the couch with a tablet on my lap squishing away with my fingers)

Although, I kind of do that sometimes now... ]]>Aug 13th 2007 9:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/
i think that makes it sound like they aren't considering it, and to say that we can "classify it as a research project" is just a way of him saying forget about it for a long time]]>Aug 7th 2007 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/Aug 7th 2007 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/Aug 7th 2007 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/Aug 7th 2007 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/Aug 7th 2007 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/
Matt's Answer: On the planet where the iPhone is small and the Surface is big. They use completely different methodologies to perform the multi-touch function and really aren't comparable. The Surface can detect cameras or cellphones just by laying them down on top of it. The Surface can then automatically connect to that device using Bluetooth and begin opening files from it. Can your iPhone do that? Totally different tech and Microsoft is ahead (for a change).]]>Aug 7th 2007 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/Aug 8th 2007 12:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/Aug 10th 2007 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/
plus, they could move the power supply out of the 'chin' and into a traditional brick, and make the whole device alot better looking.

I'll look for it on Channel 9 and post it here.

Anyways I don't see much use for multi-touch on the desktop, but maybe that's just me.]]>Aug 7th 2007 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/
So why doesn't this article mention Surface?

And why doesn't your keyword include a single Surface article (but a couple of Apple articles - including the usual "Will they possibly one day think about trying this?!?!?!?!?")?]]>Aug 7th 2007 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/Aug 7th 2007 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/Aug 7th 2007 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/apples-patented-the-tablet-mac/]]>Aug 7th 2007 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/
Multi-touch on a desktop computer right now only makes sense for very large screens, meaning a screen that you would operate while standing up, not sitting down. As of yet Apple apparently doesn't want to put a MultiTouch keyboard in a desktop so that iMac won't be going stand-less anytime soon (and a good thing too, I mean imaging trying to play a "legacy" full-screen game or use Boot Camp...)]]>Aug 7th 2007 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-calls-multitouch-mac-a-research-project/
