Looks nifty, but I don't expect it to become standard for personal computing any time soon if at all. After all, touch screens have been around for a long time now but you don't see that technology used in personal computing. It's all over for commercial use, but no PCs. Why? I'm not entirely sure. My feeling is that it's a combination of durability issues (higher priced, heavy duty materials are fine for commercial settings, but for the home market it's all about cheap and lightweight. Cheap and lightweight would not stand up to touchscreen abuse) and cleaning issues (are you going to higher someone to come around and wipe the finger prints off your laptop every 30 minutes?). Whatever it is, I see the same fate for this technology.
Unless they adapt it to work with lame looking gloves without actually touching the screen.
